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 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 by "The Immigration and Public Works
Act, 1872," it is, among other things, enacted that all
the provisions contained in Part I. and Part VI. of
"The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,"

adapted and used with reference to those portions of
the Colony, as if such portions had formed part of
the North Island: And whereas by "The Province
of Westland Act, 1873," it is, among other things,
enacted that after the first election of a Superinten-
dent of the Province of Westland, whenever in any

Province of Westland Act, 1873," came into
operation on the first day of December, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-three, in accord-
ance with the terms of a Proclamation made

recited Act; and in further pursuance of "The Immi-
gration and Public Works Act, 1870," I do hereby

admeasurements required for the same, and through
