WELLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1872.

(L.S.) G. F. BOWEN, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," it is, amongst other things,
enacted that the Governor, from time to time, by
Proclamation published in the New Zealand Gazette,
may, as to parts within the North Island of New
Zealand, define the roads and the boundaries thereof,
and the bridges and ferries, which shall be and be
deemed to be roads, bridges, or ferries, as the case
may be, under the provisions of the said Act, and any
such Proclamation may include existing roads, but no
such roads or parts of roads shall be included if they
are, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, roads
which should be constructed by the Superintendent
and the Provincial Council of the Province wherein
such roads are situated (as well as new road lines);
and the Governor from time to time may revoke or
alter any such Proclamation: And whereas in the
opinion of me, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, Governor
of New Zealand, and the Executive Council of New
Zealand, the road defined in the Schedule hereunto
is not a road which should be constructed by the
Superintendent and the Provincial Council of the
Province of Auckland:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, the
Governor of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance
of the power and authority in me vested by the said
Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the road
within the North Island of New Zealand described,
and the boundaries whereof are set forth in the
Schedule hereto, and which road is delineated on
plans numbered one and two deposited in the Office of
the Public Works Department at Wellington, in the
Province of Wellington, and thereon coloured red,
and which plans are authenticated for the purposes
of this Proclamation by the signature of the Honor-
able John Davies Ormond, the Minister for Public
Works, shall be and be deemed to be a road under
the provisions of the said Act.
