Description of Road Alteration, Tauranga to Kati Kati,
Province of Auckland.

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

WHEREAS by a Proclamation bearing date the
seventeenth day of May, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-two, made in pursuance of
"The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870," a
certain road between Tauranga and Kati Kati was
proclaimed and declared to be a road under the said
Act, as therein mentioned: And whereas by the
said Act it is provided that the Governor may from
time to time revoke or alter any such Proclamation
so made as aforesaid: And whereas it is expedient
that the boundaries of the said road should be altered
as far as regards that portion of it which lies in
Allotments numbered 149, 150, 151, and 152, Parish
of Te Apata, and which portion is of the length of
fifty chains, or thereabouts: And whereas on and
prior to the date of the said in part recited
Proclamation, it was the opinion of the Governor
and the Executive Council of New Zealand that the
said road was not a road which should be constructed
by the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the
Province of Auckland:

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet,
the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me for that purpose by the hereinbefore in
part recited Act, do hereby proclaim and declare
that the hereinbefore in part recited Proclamation
shall be altered by excepting thereout that portion
of the said road hereinbefore mentioned, and that, in
lieu thereof, the piece or portion of road particularly
described in the Schedule hereto shall be and become
a part of the said road from Tauranga to Kati Kati.
