second Tuesday in January, one thousand eight hundred
and eighty-five, and on the same day in every third year

and ninety-seven (being the day upon which an election
should have been held), to elect members to the Kaikoura
River Board:
And whereas by the forty-third section of the said Act it
is enacted, among other things, that the Governor, by Order
in Council notified in the Gazette, may extend the time
allowed for the holding of any election or meeting of the

And whereas it is expedient that the neglect to hold such
election as aforesaid should be remedied:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Administrator of the
Government of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and
exercise of all the powers enabling him in this behalf, and
by 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 Kaikoura River Board to the
twenty-sixth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and
ninety-seven, and doth hereby order and declare that such
election shall take place at the Kaikoura Suburban School-
house, that George Renner shall be the Returning Officer to

Board shall take place at the residence of Mr. Benjamin
Burland, Kaikoura, on the twenty-ninth day of May, one
thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven, at the hour of
seven o’clock in the evening ; 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.
