Improvement Commissioners ; and for amending the pro- —
visions of the Tyne Improvement Commission Act 1875
relating to the election of Commissioners and Auditor and
of the Tyne Improvement Acts relating to the levying
and collection of Rates and Dues; and for empowering the
Commissioners to establish a Superannuation Fund; and
for other purposes. [22nd May 1890.]
W
HEREAS by the Tyne Improvement Acts 1850 to 1886 the
Tyne Improvement Commissioners (in this Act called " the
Commissioners ") were constituted and incorporated and were em-
powered to execute extensive works for the improvement of the
Eiver Tyne and to construct and maintain docks piers and other
works and for those purposes to levy dues and to borrow money :
And whereas the dues and sums received by the Commissioners
are carried to four funds called respectively the Tyne Improvement
Fund the Moorings Fund the Tyne Piers Fund and the North-
umberland Dock Fund and by the Tyne Improvement Act 1872 those
four funds were for borrowing purposes but not otherwise con-
solidated into one fund called the Tyne Consolidated Fund:
And whereas it is expedient to consolidate the said four funds for
all purposes into one fund :
And whereas it is expedient to amend the provisions of the Tyne
Improvement Commission Act 1875 relating to the election of Com-
missioners and of an auditor of their accounts :
And whereas it is desirable to remove doubts and to make new
provisions respecting the levying and collection of rates and dues
by the Commissioners :
And whereas a superannuation fund has been established for the
river police of the Commissioners and it is desirable to empower the
Commissioners to establish ^if they think fit) a superannuation
