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 description 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

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 considera-

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 there-

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, 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 work, to wit, the construction of a road
in Section thirty-six, Block eight, Otepopo Survey
District, in the County of Waitaki:
And whereas the Otepopo Road Board has laid
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,
