And whereas at a meeting duly called as aforesaid and held at the Ellesmere Road Board office, Leeston, on Tuesday, the 19th day of March, 1867, the owners and occupiers of land and householders in the district specified in the Schedule hereunto annexed did by votes of the majority there present declare that they were willing that the said district should be formed into an educational district under the provisions of the said Ordinance, and declared their willingness to provide the proportion of the annual expenses of an educational district as provided in the said Ordinance.
Now therefore I, William Sefton Moorhouse, Superintendent of the said Province, in pursuance of the power in me vested by the said in part recited Ordinance, do hereby proclaim that the district specified in the Schedule hereunto annexed shall be an educational district within the meaning of the said Ordinance.
