from and after the 1st April next, the Post
Office at Gisborne will be constituted a "Chief
Post Office" within the meaning of clause 1 of the
Postal Regulations of the 29th December, 1874.
Following this decision, the under-mentioned new
postal district will therefore be established:—

GISBORNE.

The boundaries of the Gisborne Postal District
shall be the same as those of the County of Cook, as
defined in the first Schedule to "The Counties Act,
1876." The following Sub-Post Offices, which are
within the proposed new postal district, will hence-
forth be under the immediate control of the Chief

opened prior to the 31st March next, cannot, after
that date, be operated upon at Gisborne until the
accounts are transferred, depositors resident within
the Postal District of Gisborne are requested, on or
before the 31st March, to forward their deposit-books
to the Chief Postmaster, Napier, with a notice that
they require their accounts transferred.
