§ (1) In this Act the expression "work of Public utility "means the construction or improvement of roads or other means of transit, the widening or other improvement of waterways, the construction or improvement of harbours, the construction of sewers or waterworks, afforestation, the reclamation or drainage of land, and any other work, being a work which a local authority has power to execute, which is approved for the purposes of this Act by the appropriate Government department as a work of public utility.
§ Mr. MUNROI beg to move, in Subsection (1), after the word "roads" ["construction or improvement of roads or other means of transit"], to insert the words "(including bridges, viaducts, and subways)."
This Amendment is also put on the Paper in order to meet a point raised in discussion yesterday. It was suggested that the word "road" did not cover with sufficient clearness the case of bridges, viaducts and subways. The word "road" has that signification, as I understand, in more than one Act of Parliament; but in order that there may be no dubiety in the matter I move the Amendment.
§ Amendment agreed to.
