Appointment and election of the several Harbour Commissioners, tenure of office.
|
10. The appointment and election of the several Commissioners forming the Harbour Commission, and their tenure of office, shall be regulated as follows:—
|
|
| |
(1.) One Commissioner shall be appointed by the Treasury; one Commissioner shall be appointed by each barony upon which any charge is imposed under this Act; and three Commissioners shall be appointed by the Town Commissioners of the town of Arklow: Provided, that if only one barony becomes chargeable under this Act, that barony shall appoint two Commissioners; and in that event, and also in the event of only two baronies becoming chargeable under this Act, the number of Commissioners to be appointed by the Town Commissioners of the town of Arklow shall be reduced to two:
|
|
| |
(2.) The appointment of a Commissioner for a barony shall be made by the justices and associated cesspayers of the barony at any ordinary presentment sessions held for that barony:
|
|
| |
(3.) Each vacancy in the office of any Commissioner shall be filled up by an appointment made by the same authority as appointed or was entitled to appoint the vacating Commissioner:
|
|
| |
(4.) Each appointment of any Commissioner shall be determinable at any time by the authority which appointed that Commissioner, and (subject thereto and to the other provisions of this Act) shall be operative for five years and thenceforth until the next ordinary meeting of the authority which appointed him; but at the end of the term of five years an outgoing Commissioner shall be capable of re-appointment:
|
|
| |
(5.) In case the Town Commissioners of the town of Arklow fail to make any appointment, which they are from time to time required to make in conformity with this Act, within one month after being required by the Treasury to do so, and in case the justices and associated cesspayers of any barony fail to make any such appointment at the next ordinary presentment sessions for the barony after they have been required by the Treasury, by notice addressed to the secretary of the grand jury of the county, to do so, then the Treasury, instead of the authority so failing, shall for that turn appoint a Commissioner or Commissioners. The powers of the Commissioners shall not be dependent upon the whole number of Commissioners being at any one and the same time in office.
