In the matter of “The Counties Act, 1886,” and in the
matter of alteration of the number, names, and boun-
daries of the riding in the Rangitikei County.

WHEREAS at a special meeting of the Rangitikei County
Council, held at the Council Chambers, Marton, on Satur-
day, the 5th day of March, 1887, to consider whether the
representation of the ridings of the Rangitikei County re-
quired readjustment, it was found that, taking into con-
sideration the number of Councillors elected for the existing
seven ridings, and in order to provide for the representation
of the new Riding of Maungaraupi, an alteration of the
number of Councillors elected by some of the ridings was
required, and a resolution was adopted to alter the number
of Councillors to be elected for the Porewa Riding, and that
henceforth the said Porewa Riding should elect one Councillor only, and that the Maungaraupi Riding should elect one
Councillor, and that a special order embodying the foregoing
resolution should be made, and should come into full force
on the second Wednesday in the month of November now
next, but that such order should come into force on the

making thereof in so far and to such extent as should be
necessary for preparing any roll or otherwise providing for
the election of Councillors: And whereas such resolution
was confirmed at a subsequent meeting held on the 9th day
of April instant, of which resolution and subsequent meeting,
and of the time when the proposed special order should take
effect, public notice was given once in each of the four
weeks subsequent to the said 5th day of March last, and a
notice of such subsequent meeting was given to each Councillor:

Now it is ordered that henceforth, and until this order is
rescinded or varied as by law required, the Porewa Riding
shall elect one Councillor only, and the Maungaraupi
Riding shall elect one Councillor.

I certify that all the forms of law in respect of the fore-
going special order have been duly complied with.
