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 where-

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

enacted that after the first election of a Superin-
tendent 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 operation on the first day of December,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, in

in pursuance thereof, and published in the New Zea-

Superintendent of the said province has been elected
as Superintendent thereof: And whereas it is ex-
pedient that the road mentioned and defined in the
Schedule hereto should be constructed under the
