And whereas it is expedient that the neglect to hold such election as aforesaid should be remedied:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of all powers enabling him in this behalf, and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby extend the time for holding the election of members of the South Wairarapa River Board to the thirtieth day of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-four, and doth hereby order and declare that such election shall take place at the Road Board Office at Featherston, that Walter Bock shall be the Returning Officer to conduct such election, and that the first meeting of the said Board shall take place at the Road Board Office at Featherston, on the third day of February next, at the hour of two in the afternoon, and, lastly, that the provisions of “The Regulation of Local Elections Act, 1876,” so far as applicable, shall extend to the election to be held hereunder.
