WHEREAS by "The Rating Act, 1876," it is
enacted that if the local body or the Assess-

anything which may have been irregularly done in
matter of form, so that the intent and purpose of the

the Tuturau Road District constituted under an
Ordinance of the Province of Otago, intituled "The
Roads Ordinance, 1871," has failed by misadventure
to transmit the valuation list within the time specified
by the said Rating Act, 1876:

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, in exercise of the powers and autho-
rities vested in me by "The Rating Act, 1876," and
of every other power and authority enabling me in
that behalf, do hereby, by and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said colony,
extend the time for the transmission of the valuation
list for the said district, until not later than the
ninth day of February, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight; and with the like advice and
consent do hereby order that such valuation list shall
be deposited, lie open for inspection, public notice be
given, ratepayers and others may inspect such valua-
tion list and take copies thereof and make objections
thereto, as provided by the said Act, from the ninth
day of February, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-eight, to the twenty-eighth day of February,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-eight; and
I do hereby, with the like advice and consent, extend
the time accordingly.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
