At the Government House, at Wellington, this

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the twelfth section of "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," it is pro-
vided that the Governor may, by Order in Council
gazetted and publicly notified, extend the time
within which anything is required to be done by the
said Act, so that the true intent and purpose of the
said Act may have effect: And whereas by the forty-
first section of the said Act it is enacted that the
Town Clerk of every Borough shall, on or before
the thirty-first day of March in each year, make out,
in the manner in the said section mentioned, from
the valuation roll a certain list to be called "the
burgess list:" And whereas by the forty-second
section of the said Act it is enacted that the Town
Clerk shall keep the burgess list in his office, and
allow it to be inspected without fee by all persons
interested therein during all office hours until the
fifteenth day of April inclusive: And whereas by
the forty-third section of the said Act it is enacted
that all objections to the burgess list must be de-
livered at the office of the Town Clerk on or before
the fifteenth day of April: And whereas by the
forty-fourth section of the said Act it is enacted
that the Town Clerk shall make and sign a list of all
such objections, and shall keep such list in his office,
and allow it to be inspected without fee by any
person interested therein during all office hours
from the sixteenth to the twenty-first day of April
inclusive: And whereas by the forty-fifth section of
the said Act it is enacted that the Borough Council
shall hold a sitting upon a day between the twenty-
second and thirtieth days of April, both inclusive, to
be appointed by the Mayor, and of which he shall
give three days public notice, for the purpose of
determining all claims to vote and objections:
And whereas it has been made to appear to His
Excellency the Governor that certain things required
to be done by the said Act in connection with the
making and revision of the burgess lists or rolls for
Cook's Ward, St. John's Ward, and Queen's Ward,
in the Borough of Wanganui, cannot be done by or
within the times required by the said Act:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor, in
exercise and pursuance of the power and authority
vested in him by the twelfth section of the said Act,
and by and with the advice and consent of the Exe-
cutive Council of the Colony of New Zealand, doth
hereby extend the time for making the burgess lists
for the said Wards respectively, in accordance with
the forty-first section of the said Act, to the ninth
day of April next; and doth hereby extend the time
during which the Town Clerk is to keep the said
burgess lists and to allow them to be inspected by
all persons interested therein, as mentioned in the
forty-second section of the said Act, to the twenty-
fourth day of April next:

And doth hereby extend the time for delivering
objections to the said burgess lists, in accordance
with the forty-third section of the said Act, to the
said twenty-fourth day of April next:

And doth hereby declare that the time during
which the Town Clerk is to keep the list of objections
mentioned in the forty-fourth section of the said Act,
in respect of the said burgess lists respectively,
in his office for purposes of inspection by any person
interested therein, shall be extended so that the same
shall and may be kept for inspection, as in the said
section provided, during all office hours from the
twenty-fifth to the thirtieth day of April next, in-
clusive:

And doth hereby extend the time for holding the
sitting of the Wanganui Borough Council, in accord-
ance with the forty-fifth section of the said Act, to
a day between the first and the ninth days of May
next, both inclusive, which day shall be appointed by
the Mayor, and of which notice shall be given, as in
the said section provided.

FORSTER GORING,
