Town of Milton declared a Borough.

(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by the fifteenth section of "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," it is
enacted that the Governor may, by Proclamation,
declare any of the several places specified in the
Third Schedule to the said Act in which a Municipal
Corporation has been established under the provi-
sions of an Ordinance of the Province of Otago
intituled "The Otago Municipal Corporations Ordi-
nance, 1865," to be a borough constituted under
the said "Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," from
a day to be named in such Proclamation; subject,
however, to certain conditions in the said section
mentioned: And whereas the Town of Milton, in
the Provincial District of Otago, is one of the places
specified in the said Third Schedule, and a petition
has been presented to His Excellency the Governor
by sixty-two of the ratepayers of such town praying
him to constitute such town into a borough under
"The said Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," and
such petition was, on the twenty-fourth day of
August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-
seven, publicly notified, and no petition from an
equal or greater number of such ratepayers was
presented to His Excellency within two months
after such public notification praying him not to
assent to the prayer of such first-mentioned petition:
And whereas by a Proclamation, dated the twenty-
fourth day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-seven, published in the New Zealand
Gazette No. 89, page 1042, the said Town of Milton
was proclaimed to be a borough constituted under
"The Municipal Corporations Act, 1876," and called
the Borough of Milton: And the boundaries of such
borough were expressed as specified in the Schedule
to the Proclamation now in recital: And whereas
accidentally the boundaries so specified do not in-
clude the area set forth in the Schedule to "The
Milton Municipality Extension Act, 1876," and it is
expedient to issue a fresh Proclamation:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of all
powers and authorities enabling me in that behalf,
do hereby proclaim and declare that, from the
twenty-fourth day of October, one thousand eight
hundred and seventy-seven, the Town of Milton shall
be a borough constituted under the said "Municipal
Corporations Act, 1876," and shall be called the
Borough of Milton; and that the boundaries of such
borough shall be those specified in the Schedule
hereto.
