Resumen

This Act provides for applications to be made to the Lieutenant Governor in Council, for protection work to be executed in order to prevent the encroachment of a river on its banks. Should the application be deemed to be in the public interest, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may direct the engineer to prepare a report under this Act. Section 3 sets out the contents of such a report, and that an assessment roll should also be compiled by the engineer. Sections 4 through to 9 deal with the procedure to consider and approve the report. Section 10 outlines the appeal procedure, to the Supreme Court, should an owner be dissatisfied with the assessment roll contained in the report. However section 11 states that execution must not be delayed because of an appeal under section 10 but must proceed despite appeal. Section 12 provides for payment from consolidated revenue fund. Section 12 prescribes the procedure for the Revision of roll after work has been executed. Sections 16, and 17, deal with the levy of taxes. Section 19 allows the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulations referred to in section 41 of the Interpretation Act.
