Land authorized to be taken by the Borough of
Thames for Drainage Purposes.

(L.S.) HERCULES ROBINSON, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by "The Municipal Corporations Act,
1876," it is enacted that the Council of a
borough constituted under that Act may take or
purchase under the provisions of "The Public Works
Act, 1876" (hereinafter called "the said Act"), and
any lands within the borough required for the good
and efficient drainage of the borough: And whereas
the Council of the Borough of Thames, requiring to
take the land described in the Schedule hereto for
the purpose of drainage, has laid before me the
memorial referred to by section twenty-five of "The
Public Works Act, 1876," praying me to declare,
by Proclamation, that such land is taken for such
purpose:

And whereas the Mayor of the said borough has,
in accordance with the twenty-eighth section of "The
Public Works Act 1876 Amendment Act, 1878,"
laid before me a statutory declaration that the said
Council is authorized by law to undertake the work
for which the land described in the memorial laid
before me under section twenty-five of the said Act
is required, that all the provisions of the said Act as
to taking such land have been complied with, and
that the said Council are of opinion that the proposed
works should be executed, and that no private injury
will be done for which due compensation is not pro-
vided by the said Act:

And whereas it appears to me that all things
required by the "Municipal Corporations Act, 1876,"
"The Public Works Act, 1876," and "The Public
Works Act 1876 Amendment Act, 1878," to be
done and performed to authorize the taking of
such land have been done and performed, and it is
expedient to declare that such land is taken for the
purpose aforesaid:

Now, therefore, I, Sir Hercules George Robert
Robinson, Governor of the Colony of New Zealand,
by and with the advice of the Executive Council of
the said colony, in exercise of the powers and
authorities in me vested by the said Acts, and of
any other power and authority enabling me in that
behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the
land described in the Schedule hereto is taken by the
Council of the said borough for drainage purposes
as aforesaid; and that, from and after the tenth
day of May, one thousand eight hundred and
seventy-nine, the said land shall become vested in
fee-simple in the Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses
of the Borough of Thames, for drainage purposes as
aforesaid.
