(L.S.)
NORMANBY, Governor.
A PROCLAMATION.

W
HEREAS by the one hundred and twenty-
second section of “The Public Works Act,
1876,” it is enacted that every railway shall be made
only under the authority of a special Act, which
shall state as nearly as may be the line of the railway
and the two termini thereof; and by the one hundred
and twenty-third section of the same Act, that the
several railways specified in the Fourth Schedule to
the said Act shall be deemed to have been made, and
in so far as any of them are unfinished may be com-
pleted, under the provisions of the Act now under
recital, and the said Act shall be deemed to be a
special Act authorizing the construction of each of
the said railways; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fourth section of the same Act, that when any
railway is to be constructed under the provisions of
any special Act the Governor shall issue a proclama-
tion defining the middle line of the railway or any
part thereof, and may from time to time, by a pro-
clamation revoking or amending such former pro-
clamation, alter such line in any manner or to any
extent which may be found necessary for the con-
struction of such railway within the provisions of the
said special Act; and by the one hundred and
twenty-fifth section of the same Act, that the
Minister shall cause to be made and deposited in the
office of the Registrar of the Supreme Court such
maps and plans as may be necessary to explain the
said line and the land through which the same passes,
and such maps and plans shall be referred to in any
such proclamation; and whereas the railway from
Napier to the junction with the railway from New
Plymouth to Waitara at Sentry Hill, passing by
Pakipaki, Waipawa, Waipukurau, Takapau, Mana-
watu Gorge, Bunnythorpe, and Wanganui, is one of
the railways specified in the said Fourth Schedule, and
the same is unfinished, and it has been determined
to construct and maintain a further portion of such
railway:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and in pursuance of the
powers and authorities conferred on me by “The
Public Works Act, 1876,” and in exercise of every
other power and authority enabling me in that be-
half, do hereby proclaim and declare that the middle
line of the said further portion of the said railway
shall be that defined and set forth in the Schedule
hereto, and that the two termini of the said line
shall be a point about 0 miles 20 chains on the
Waitara to Wanganui Railway, as proclaimed on the
thirtieth day of December, one thousand eight hun-
dred and seventy-four, and terminating at a point at
or about the Wanganui River Road Bridge, situate
on Taupo Quay, in line with south side of Victoria
Avenue. The said middle line and the land through
which the same passes are set forth in the map and
plan marked P.W.D. 5745, and authenticated for the
