(L.S.)
NORMANBY,
Administrator of the Government.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHE THEREAS 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 field 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 purposes
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 waterworks,
lands, and streams shall have been surveyed, or be
specified by name or boundaries or area :

And whereas by a resolution passed by the County
Council of the County of Westland, on the tenth
day of August, 1872, and assented to and concurred
in by the Chairman of the County Council of the
said county, the Governor was requested to construct
works for the supply of water to the Westland 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 supplying
water to the said gold field : And whereas an ex-
tension of the said waterworks has been deemed
necessary :

Now therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Administrator of the
Government of New Zealand, in exercise and
pursuance of the powers and authorities con-
ferred on me by the hereinbefore in part recited
Acts, and in exercise of every other power enabling
me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim, declare, and
