(L.S.) G. A. ARNEY,
Officer Administering the Government.

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 Superin-
tendent 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 Alfred
Arney, the Officer Administering the Government of
the Colony of New Zealand, and the Executive
Council of New Zealand, the roads defined in the
Schedule hereunto are not roads which should be
constructed by the Superintendent and the Provincial
Council of the Province of Auckland:

Now therefore, I, Sir George Alfred Arney, the
Officer Administering the Government of the Colony
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 roads within the
North Island of New Zealand, described and the
boundaries whereof are set forth in the Schedule
hereto, and which roads are delineated on a plan
numbered I., deposited in the office of the Public
Works Department, at Wellington, in the Province
of Wellington, and thereon coloured red, and which
plan is authenticated for the purposes of this Procla-
mation by the signature of the Honorable George
Maurice O'Rorke, Minister acting for the Minister
for Public Works, shall be and be deemed to be
roads under the provisions of the said Act.

Given under the hand of His Excellency
Sir George Alfred Arney, Knight, the Officer Administering the Government,
and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her
Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and
its Dependencies, and Vice-Admiral of
the same; and issued under the Seal of
the said Colony, at Wellington, this
thirteenth day of June, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-three.
