Ferries.
Maintenance and user of ferry piers.
52. Piers employed for the purpose of a ferry shall be built (if necessary), adapted and maintained by the Government free of cost to the licensee who shall not, subject as hereinafter provided, be required to make any payment for the use or repair thereof : Provided that in the event of any damage being caused to any pier or any structure erected thereon by the licensee, his servants or vessels, other than fair wear and tear, of which the Director of Public Works shall be the judge, then the licensee shall on demand by the Director of Public Works forthwith pay into the Treasury the amount of such damage as shall be certified by the Director of Public Works. Such piers shall be provided by the Government with such barriers, gates, turnstiles, ticket offices and other superstructure as may be necessary for the efficient working of the ferry. Nothing in these regulations shall be deemed to require the provision by the Government of a pier at each ferry point.
Insufficient ferry service.
53. If it be represented in writing to the Governor in Council by the Director of Marine or by fifty inhabitant rate-payers that the public are not afforded the full benefit of a ferry, the Governor in Council may (if satisfied that prima facie the case is one for inquiry) appoint a person to inquire into the matter and report thereon, and if the truth of the representation be proved the Governor in Council may issue an order to the licensee requiring him to provide such a service as will afford to the public the full benefit of the ferry, and such order may prescribe the number of ferry vessels which the licensee shall run and the times at which they shall be run. Every such order shall be posted to the licensee at his last known address and published in the Gazette : Provided that the Governor in Council shall before issuing any such order be satisfied that under good and economical management the prescribed service will be fairly remunerative to the licensee; and that, after the licensee has complied with such order for not less than thirty days, the Governor in Council may on the application of the licensee revoke or modify any such order.
