WICK HARBOUR.
Provisional Order to authorise the Wick Harbour Trustees to
construct additional Works to amend the Wick and
JPulteney
Harbours Acts 1879 to 1903 to confer borrowmg
powers and for other purposes.
WHEREAS by the Pulteney Harbour Act 1879 (herein-
after called "the Act of 1879") the harbour of Pulteneytown
as therein defined (herein-after called "the harbour") was
subject to the existing liabilities and encumbrances affecting
the same transferred to and vested in certain Trustees appointed
to be elected in manner therein provided and thereby incorpo-
rated under the name and style of the Pulteney Harbour
Trustees (herein-after called "the Trustees") and powers were
conferred on the Trustees to maintain and improve the harbour
to levy and demand certain rates and duties and to borrow
money on the security thereof and of the other revenues of the
Trustees:
And whereas by the Pier and Harbour Orders Confirmation
(No.
1) Act 1883 a Provisional Order made by the Board of
Trade (herein-after called "the Order of 1883") was confirmed
under which the name and style of the Trustees was changed
to "the Wick and Pulteney Harbours Trustees" and further
powers were conferred upon the Trustees for the construction
of certain works for the improvement of the harbour and for
raising money for the execution of such works and for certam
other purposes:
And whereas the Act of 1879 and the Order of 1883 were
amended by the Wick and Pulteney Harbours Act 1899 (herein-
after called " the Act of 1899 ") with respect to the qualification
registration and election of the Trustees and further powers
were conferred upon the Trustees to construct certain additional

upon the town council of the royal burgh of Wick and upon
A.D.
1914.
the commissioners of the burgh of Pulteneytown to guarantee —
payment of the principal and interest of the money to be so
borrowed or part thereof and for other purposes:
And whereas by the Wick Burgh Extension Order 1902
(herein-after called "the Order of 1902") the municipal and
police boundaries of the burgh of Wick were extended so
as to include and comprehend the whole territory and lands
and heritages within the burgh of Pulteneytown the harbour
and certain other districts and powers were conferred upon
the corporation of the extended burgh of Wick (herein-
after called "the corporation") to guarantee payment of the
principal and interest of any money which might be borrowed
by the Trustees for the execution of the works authorised by
the Act of 1899 or part
thereof:
And whereas by the Wick and Pulteney Harbours Order
1903 (herein-after called "the Order of 1903") further powers
were conferred upon the Trustees for the construction of
additional works for the improvement and extension of the
harbour and to borrow money for the execution of such
works and the corporation were empowered to guarantee pay-
ment of the principal and interest of the money to be so
borrowed or part
thereof:
And whereas the works authorised by the Order of 1903
have not yet been completed and it is expedient having regard
to the altered conditions of the fishing industry to make certain
alterations on the plan of harbour extension thereby authorised
and to provide additional safe shelter for the increased fleet
of fishing vessels frequenting the harbour and that the Trustees
should be authorised to construct the works herein-after
mentioned for that purpose:
And whereas the harbour is now included within the
municipal and police boundaries of the burgh of Wick and the
former burgh of Pulteneytown has ceased to exist as a separate
municipality and it is expedient that the Trustees should here-
after be known and designated as the " Wick Harbour Trustees "
and that the harbour should be known and described as "Wick
Harbour" and that statutory authority should be granted for
effecting this alteration in the name and designation of the
Trustees and of the harbour: A 2 3
