A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section twenty-one of "The Public
Works Act, 1876" (herein referred to as "the
said Act"), it is enacted that whenever lands are
required to be taken for public works the County
Council, in the case of county works, shall cause a
survey to be made and plans to be prepared showing
generally the nature of the works proposed to be
executed and the lands required to be taken for the
same, together with the names of the owners and
occupiers of such lands so far as they can be ascer-
tained, and shall cause a copy of such plans to be
deposited in some place in the road district in which
such lands are: And by section twenty-two of the
said Act it is further enacted that the said County
Council shall cause a notice to be gazetted, and to be
twice publicly notified, stating the place where such
plans are open for inspection, with a general descrip-
tion of the works proposed to be executed and of the
land required to be taken, and in such notice shall
call upon all persons affected to set forth in writing
any well-founded objections to the execution of such
works or to the taking of such lands, and to send
such writing within forty days from the first publica-
tion of such notice to the said County Council:
And by sections twenty-three and twenty-four of the
said Act it is further enacted that the County Council
shall cause a copy of such notice and description to
be served upon the said owners and occupiers so far
as they can be ascertained; and that the said County
Council shall, upon receiving any objection, appoint
a time and place within the colony within which the
objector may appear before the said Council, and
support the objection by such evidence as the
objector thinks fit; and by section twenty-five of
the said Act it is enacted that, if within the said
forty days no such objection is made, or if after due
consideration of such objections the said County
Council is of opinion that it is expedient that the
proposed works should be executed, and that no
private injury will be done thereby for which due
compensation is not provided by the said Act, the
land proposed to be taken shall be taken in the
following manner, that is to say: The said County
Council shall lay before the Governor a memorial
containing an accurate description of the land pro-
posed to be taken, together with a map thereof,
signed by the Surveyor-General or some certificated
surveyor as evidence of the accuracy thereof; and

Now, therefore, I, George Augustus Constantine,
Marquis of Normanby, Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent
of the Executive Council of the said colony, in exer-
cise and pursuance of the powers and authorities in
me vested by the hercinbefore in part recited Act,
and of any other power and authority enabling me in
that behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
lands described in the Schedule hereto are hereby
taken for the purposes of a road; and that, from and
after the twentieth day of February, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-nine, the lands so described
shall become absolutely vested in fee-simple in Her
Majesty, discharged from all mortgages, charges,
claims, estates, and interests of what kind soever,
for use as a road.
