name for such township for my approval, as mentioned in
the said section: And whereas the said Council hath accord-
ingly submitted to me the name of "Allanton" in lieu of
the existing name of "Greytown":

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred on me by sections two and four of
"The Designation of Districts Act, 1894," and of all other
powers and authorities enabling me in this behalf, I, David,
Earl of Glasgow, the Governor of the Colony of New Zea-
land, do hereby proclaim and declare that the name of the
Township of Greytown, in the Taireri County, shall be and
the same is hereby altered to "Allanton," and do assign the
last-mentioned name to such township accordingly, and also
do hereby proclaim and declare that this Proclamation shall
take effect on and after the first day of December, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-five.
