Where it is certified to the Treasury by the Lord Lieutenant that the establishment of any of the means of communication mentioned in this section is necessary for the development of the resources of any district, but that owing to the exceptional circumstances of the district such means of communication could not be established without special assistance from the State, the Treasury may authorise the Board of Works to enter into an agreement with any person for the establishment and maintenance of any line of steam-boats, coaches, cars, carts, or other vehicles moved by mechanical power or otherwise, and to construct or reconstruct and maintain or contract for the construction or reconstruction and maintenance of any pier, quay, or jetty, or the immediate approaches thereto, or any structure necessary for the proper use thereof; and the Treasury may, out of the money provided by this Act, make free grants in aid of any of the above purposes.
