hand, from time to time to appoint Polling Places for
each Electoral District, within or within one mile of the
limits thereof, and to appoint any one of such Polling
Places to be the Principal Polling Place for the
District, and all or any of such Polling Places from
time to time to abolish, and, if he think fit, to appoint
other Polling Places in lieu of those abolished, and
that every such Warrant shall be published in the
New Zealand Gazette: Provided always that no
Polling Place shall be appointed by the Governor

do hereby abolish the above-named Polling Place for
the District of Franklin, for the election of Members
of the House of Representatives, and do appoint in
