And whereas the Board has recommended that the following locality should be added to the present Waltham Educational Districts, that is to say:—The locality lying to the west of the District bounded on the east by the Colombo Road; on the north by the railway; on the west by the centre of the Windmill road and its continuation to the southernmost corner of Reserve 111; thence in a straight line to the north-east corner of section 98; thence westerly along the northern boundary of the said section to Mein’s Road; thence south-easterly by Mein’s Road and a straight line in continuation thereof to Dyer’s Pass Road; thence northerly and easterly to Colombo Road; and that the whole should be proclaimed as a new District under the name of the “Colombo Road District”:

Now, therefore, I, WILLIAM ROLLESTON, the Superintendent of the said Province, in pursuance of the powers so vested in me as aforesaid, do hereby, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, abolish the present Waltham Educational District, and I do hereby proclaim the District specified in the Schedule hereunto annexed to be a newly constituted Educational District within the meaning of “The Education Ordinance, 1871.”

Given under my hand, at Christchurch, this 5th day of July, 1872.
