Land taken for a Road in the Heathcote Road Dis-
trict, County of Selwyn.
(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 ascertained, 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 noti-
fied, stating the place where such plans are open for
inspection, with a general description of the works
proposed to be executed, and of the land required to
be taken, and in such notice shall call upon all per-
sons 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 publication of such notice to
the said Boad 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 Boad 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 objec-
tions 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 proposed to be taken, together with a map
thereof, signed by the Surveyor-General or some cer-
tificated surveyor as evidence of the accuracy thereof;
and the Governor in Council may thereupon, if he
think fit, by Proclamation gazetted and publicly noti-
fied, declare that the said lands are taken for the use
of a railway, road, or other public work, as the case
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, or interests of what kind soever, for
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 Government work, to wit, the construction
of a Road in Rural Section number thirty (30),
Heathcote Road District, County of Selwyn:

And whereas the Heathcote 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
