ance and exercise of the power and authority vested
in me by the said Act, do hereby delegate unto

any regulations now in force under the said Act, or
that may hereafter be in force, so far as the same
relate to the said powers hereby delegated, and
subject also to the consent and approval of the
Waste Land Board of the said provincial district:
And lastly, with the like advice and consent as afore-
said, and in further pursuance and exercise of the
said power and authority, I do hereby revoke the
said Order in Council of the sixteenth day of Novem-
ber last, and the delegations thereby conferred, but
so far only as the same affects the powers delegated
by this present Order in Council or may be inconsis-
