PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS by the Roads Ordinance, 1869, it is among other things enacted that if at any time previous to the first day of August in any year, a majority of the Ratepayers of any portion of a district described in Schedule B to the said Ordinance, should petition the Superintendent that a portion of the district to be specified in such petition should be formed into a separate district, it should be lawful for the Superintendent in Council by Proclamation to be inserted in the Government Gazette and one newspaper circulating in the district, to declare that such part of the district mentioned in the said petition should be a road district.
And whereas a petition signed by a majority of the Ratepayers within a portion of the Ashburton district, being a district described in the Schedule B to the said Ordinance, was duly forwarded to the Superintendent pursuant to the said Ordinance, and it was thereby prayed that the portion of the province therein mentioned might be formed into a separate district.
Now therefore, I, ROBERT HEATON RHODES, Deputy-Superintendent of the Province of Canterbury, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council thereof, and in exercise and execution of the powers vested in me by the said Ordinance, do hereby declare that the portion of the Province of Canterbury hereinafter described and heretofore comprised in the Ashburton district, shall henceforth be a Road District under the name of the Mount Somers District, that is to say—All that portion of the province bounded on the north by the Rakaia district; on the east by the Ashburton district; on the south by the north bank of the rivers Rangitata and Clyde, to the source of the latter, and a true west line; and on the west by the County of Westland.
Given under my hand at Christchurch, this Third day of September, One thousand eight hundred and seventy.
