(L.S.) JAMES FERGUSSON, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1870," it is enacted that the
Governor may, on the request of the Superintendent
and Provincial Council of any Province in which any
proclaimed gold field is, cause to be constructed,
completed, extended, repaired, or maintained, such
works for supplying water to such gold fields as he
may from time to time think fit, and may enter into
contracts for the construction, completion, or exten-
sion of such works, or for purchasing or otherwise
acquiring any drains, dams, water races, reservoirs,
or other works already constructed, which may
appear to the Governor suitable for any such purpose
aforesaid: And it is also thereby enacted that,
whenever the Governor shall determine to construct
any waterworks under the powers conferred by
Part III. of the said Act, he shall from time to
time, by Proclamation published in the New Zealand
Gazette, declare and specify the waterworks which
he proposes to construct, and the lands and streams
of water proposed to be taken for the purposes of
such waterworks, and any such Proclamation may
refer to maps, plans, or drawings to be deposited
in the office of the Registrar or Deputy Registrar
of the Supreme Court in the Province in which
such waterworks are proposed to be constructed,
and any maps, plans, or drawings so referred to shall
be deemed to form part of such Proclamation; and
upon the publication of such Proclamation, the pro-
visions and regulations contained in the Eighth Part
of the said Act shall be applicable to the lands and
streams and the waterworks to which the Proclama-
tion relates: And it is also thereby enacted that, for
the purposes of the Third Part of the said Act, the
Governor or any person authorized by him, subject
to the restrictions and provisions therein contained,
may exercise any of the following powers (that is to
say),—He may enter upon any lands and take the
levels of the same, and set out such parts thereof as
he thinks necessary, and dig and break up the soil of
such lands, and remove or use all earth, stones, trees,
or other things dug or gotten out of the same: He
may enter upon, take and hold such land as shall
from time to time be specified in any Proclamation
made under the Third Part of the said Act for the
construction or improvement of any works authorized
in and by the Third Part of the said Act: He may
from time to time make, maintain, or alter such
reservoirs, dams, races, aqueducts, waterworks, drains,
pipes, culverts, engines and other works, and erect
such buildings in or upon the lands and streams
authorized to be taken as he thinks fit: He may
from time to time divert and impound the water from
any such streams as shall be specified in any such
Proclamation, or alter the course of any such
streams :

And whereas by "The Immigration and Public
Works Act, 1873," it is enacted that it shall be suffi-
cient, in any Proclamation under and for the pur-
poses of Part III. of the said Act, to describe in
general language the waterworks to be constructed,
and the lands and streams of water proposed to be
taken; and it shall not be necessary that such water-
works, lands, and streams shall have been surveyed,
or be specified by name or boundaries or area:

And whereas by a Resolution passed by the Pro-
vincial Council of the Province of Otago on the
thirteenth day of July, 1871, and assented to and
concurred in by the Superintendent of the said
Province, the Governor was requested to construct
works for the supply of water to the Mount Ida
Gold Field (the same being a duly proclaimed gold
field): And whereas, in accordance with the terms
of the said Resolution, the Governor has determined
to construct and maintain certain works for supply-
ing water to the said gold field :

Now therefore I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities
conferred on me by the hereinbefore recited Acts,
and in exercise of every other power enabling me in
this behalf, do hereby proclaim, declare, and specify
that the waterworks proposed to be constructed
under the said Acts are waterworks for the purpose
of supplying water from the Manuherikia River and
its tributaries, and other streams as mentioned in the
Schedule hereto, to the Mount Ida Gold Field afore-
said, together with all such drains, races, aqueducts,
pipes, culverts, buildings, and other works that may
be requisite or necessary for the said waterworks;
and I do hereby also proclaim and declare that the
lands and streams of water proposed to be taken for
the purpose of such waterworks are those which are
described in general language in the Schedule
hereto. And in pursuance and exercise of all powers
and authorities conferred on me in that behalf, I do
hereby fix the point of commencement of the said
waterworks to be a point on the uppermost tributary
of the north branch of the Manuherikia River, and
the point of termination thereof to be a point at or
near the Hogburn Creek, Province of Otago.

—
