Napier, Dec. 17, 1870.

IT IS HEREBY NOTIFIED for public information, that a scheme, submitted to the General Government by the Superintendent, for the division of the sum of Twelve Hundred Pounds, voted for Road Boards in this Province by the General Assembly, has been approved.

The following is the distribution as approved, subject to the conditions herein-after named:—

£1200 0 0

The settlers in the different districts named in the scheme are invited to take the necessary steps to form Road Boards in their several districts, so as to entitle them to the money grant.

For those districts, the boundaries of which are not defined by Proclamation, it is desirable the settlers interested should recommend the boundaries they may desire the Superintendent to proclaim.

No district will receive any aid from the £1200 vote until its Road Board has been elected and a rate raised, amounting in the aggregate to one-fourth of the sum to be granted; i.e., Papakura to obtain the one hundred pounds grant must raise twenty-five pounds of rates.

Districts desiring to avail of the aid must take the necessary steps to do so before the 30th March, 1871. Any district failing to do so will lose the amount apportioned to it, which may be distributed among the Road Boards that are then constituted and working.

Further information can be obtained on application at this office, where every assistance will be given settlers requiring it.

J. D. ORMOND,
Superintendent.
