(L.S.) NORMANBY, Governor.
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 Road
Board, in the case of district 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 Road
Board 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 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 Road Board: And by
sections twenty-three and twenty-four of the said
Act it is further enacted that the Road Board 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 Road
Board shall, upon receiving any objection, appoint a
time and place within the colony within which the
objector may appear before the said Road Board,
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 Road
Board 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 Road
Board 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
the Governor in Council may thereupon, if he think
fit, by Proclamation gazetted and publicly notified,
declare that the said lands are taken for the use of
a railway, road, or other public work, as the case may
be; and from and after a date to be named in the
said Proclamation the land therein specified shall
become absolutely vested in fee-simple in Her
Majesty, discharged from all mortgages, charges,
claims, estates, interests of what soever,
the public use named in the said Proclamation:

And whereas the lands described in the Schedule
hereto are required to be taken under the said Act
for a certain work, to wit, the construction of a
road in Block II., Clarendon Survey District, County
of Bruce:

And whereas the Waihola Road Board has laid
before the Governor the memorial and map men-
tioned in and signed and certified as required by the
twenty-fifth section of the said Act:

And whereas all the requirements and conditions
prescribed by the said Act have been duly performed
and fulfilled, and all things have happened and all
times elapsed to lawfully authorize this Proclamation
to be issued:

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 exercise
and pursuance of the powers and authorities in me
vested by the hereinbefore 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 purpose of a road; and that, from and after
the ninth day of January instant, the lands so de-
scribed 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.
