Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section three of “The Town Districts Act 1881 Amendment, Act, 1883,” it is enacted that, whenever two town districts in the same county are situate within half a mile from each other, and a natural boundary, such as a river, stream, or road, runs through or along the lands intervening between the boundaries of such town districts, the Governor may, by Proclamation, extend the boundaries of either of such districts, so as to include all lands intervening between the boundary of the town district and such natural boundary aforesaid, notwithstanding that the limits fixed for the extent of a town district may be thereby exceeded: And whereas the Lower Hutt Town District and the Petone Town District, in the County of Hutt, are situated within half a mile from each other, and White’s road being a natural boundary, as defined by the said Act, runs along the lands intervening between the boundaries of the said town districts, and it is expedient to extend the boundaries of the said Lower Hutt District to the said White’s Road, so as to include all lands intervening between the said Lower Hutt Town District and the Petone Town District:

Now, therefore, I, William Francis Drummond Jervois, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in me by the said “Town Districts Act 1881 Amendment Act, 1883,” do hereby proclaim and declare that the said Lower Hutt Town District shall be extended as provided by the said Act, and that, on and after the date hereof, the boundaries of the said town district shall be those described in the Schedule hereto.
