are not less than fifty householders, may apply by
petition to the Governor praying that such locality
may be constituted a town district under the said Act;
and that no such locality shall exceed two square
miles in area, and no one point in such area shall be
distant more than four miles from any other point
therein, except in the case of military townships;
and that in every such locality not less than two-
thirds of the number of the resident householders
shall concur in any such petition, and each signature
to such petition shall be verified by the attestation
of some respectable witness; and that such petition
shall set forth accurately the boundaries of the
locality to which such petition may refer; and also
that, on the receipt of any such petition, the Gover-
nor may, by Proclamation, declare that the provisions
of the said Act shall come into force within such
locality, and that the same shall be a town district
under the said Act; and, further, that such Procla-
mation shall accurately define the boundaries of the
district in accordance with the description contained
in the petition, and shall declare the name by which
such district shall thereafter be known:

And whereas a petition has been presented to the
Governor, by the inhabitants of the locality men-
tioned and described therein, praying that such
locality may be constituted a town district under the
said Act:

And whereas not less than two-thirds of the num-
ber of resident householders in the said locality have

Now, therefore, I, Arthur Hamilton Gordon, the
Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pur-
suance and exercise of the power and authority
vested in me by the hereinbefore in part recited Act,
do hereby proclaim and declare that the provisions

locality or district mentioned and described in the
Schedule hereto (the same being the locality men-
tioned and set forth in the said petition, so presented
as aforesaid), and that the same shall be a town dis-
trict under the said Act; and, in further pursuance
and exercise of the said power and authority, I do
hereby declare that the said district shall hereafter
