Changing the Name of Greytown (Otago).

(L.S.) GLASGOW, Governor.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS there are now existing two places in the
Colony of New Zealand bearing the same name,
that is to say, the Borough of Greytown, in the County of
Wairarapa South, and the Township of Greytown, in the
Taireri County, the last-named being the more recent in date
of existence: And whereas, under the fourth section of
"The Designation of Districts Act, 1894," I lately required
the County Council of the Taireri County, being the local
authority having jurisdiction in that behalf, to submit a new
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.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Right
Honourable David, Earl of Glasgow; Knight
Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of
Saint Michael and Saint George; Governor and
Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's
Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies;
