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 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 publication
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 ob-
jector 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 con-
sideration 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 proposed 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 Pro-
clamation 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 Pro-
clamation the land therein specified shall become
absolutely vested in fee-simple in Her Majesty, dis-
charged 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 construc-
tion of roads in Section sixty-six (66), Block one
(I.), and Section forty-eight (48), Block two (II.),
Oteramika Hundred, in the County of Southland:

And whereas the Oteramika Road Board has
laid before the Governor the memorial and map
mentioned 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 Proclama-
tion to be issued:

Now, therefore, I, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, 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
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
purposes of a road; and that, from and after the
tenth day of May, 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
luse as a road.
