(L.S.) JAMES PRENDERGAST,
Administrator of the Government.
A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by an Ordinance of the Province of
Wellington, intituled "The Highways Act,
1874," it is enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Superintendent from time to time, by Proclamation
in the Government Gazette, to divide any district or
districts into two or more new districts, and the
same in like manner from time to time to subdivide,
alter, or reunite:

And whereas the powers, duties, and functions
vested in the Superintendent by the said Ordinance
are, by "The Abolition of Provinces Act, 1875," now
vested in the Governor:

And whereas by Proclamation dated the seventeenth
day of November, one thousand eight hundred and
eighty, the Manawatu Highway District was con-
stituted with the boundaries described in the Schedule
to the said Proclamation:

And whereas by Proclamation of even date here-
with, but issued immediately before this Proclama-
tion, the Administrator of the Government did
separate the portion of the said district in the said
Proclamation described from the said district, and
did constitute the separated portion into a new high-
way district: And whereas the district comprised
within the boundaries set forth in the First Schedule
hereto is the remaining portion of the said Manawatu
District, and it is necessary, under the provisions of
the said "Highways Act, 1874," that such remaining
portion should be constituted into a new highway
district:

Now, therefore, I, James Prendergast, the Ad-
ministrator of the Government of the Colony of
New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the
powers and authorities vested in me by the said
recited Ordinance and Act, do hereby proclaim and
declare that, from and after the date hereof, the
district the boundaries whereof are set forth in the
First Schedule hereto shall be and the same is hereby
constituted a highway district, by the name of the
Manawatu Highway District; and such highway
district shall have the boundaries set forth in the
said First Schedule: And, in further exercise of the
powers and authorities aforesaid, I do proclaim and
declare that the said Manawatu Highway District
shall be divided into five wards, the names and
boundaries whereof are set forth in the Second
Schedule hereto.
