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 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,"
shall be applicable to the County of Westland and
the Nelson South-West Gold Fields, and may be
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
Act for the time being in force mention or reference
is made to the County of Westland, such Act shall
be construed and read as if in such Act the Province
of Westland was mentioned or referred to, instead
of the County of Westland: And whereas "The
Province of Westland Act, 1873," came into opera-
tion on the first day of December, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-three, in accordance with
the terms of a Proclamation made in pursuance
thereof, and published in the New Zealand Gazette
on the sixth day of November, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-three, and a Superintendent
of the said Province has been elected as Superinten-
dent thereof: And whereas it is expedient that the
roads mentioned and defined in the Schedules hereto
should be constructed under the firstly in part
recited Act: And whereas, in the opinion of the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, and the
Executive Council of New Zealand, the said roads are
not roads which should be constructed by the
Superintendent and the Provincial Council of the
Province of Westland:

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in
exercise and pursuance of the power and authority
in me vested by the said Acts, and of every other
power and authority enabling me in that behalf, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the roads within
the Province of Westland described, and the bound-
aries whereof are set forth in the Schedules hereto,
shall respectively be and be deemed to be roads
under the provisions of the said firstly in part
recited Act; and in further pursuance of "The
Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870," I do
hereby proclaim and declare that I have caused a map
and survey plan of the road defined in the First
Schedule hereto, describing the course and bearings
and the admeasurements required for the same, and
through what lands the same is proposed to pass,
and the names of the owners or occupiers thereof,
so far as known, to be deposited in the office of
the Public Works Department at Hokitika, in the
Province of Westland; and I have also caused a like
