RESOLVED, That this Council do make a special order altering the number of ridings within the County of Ashburton, and the boundaries of the Upper Ashburton and Mount Somers Ridings, and the number of the Councillors henceforth to be elected by the Upper Ashburton Riding, and that such special order be as follows, that is to say:—

Special Order.

Whereas in pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in it by “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” “The Road Boards Act 1882 Amendment Act, 1883,” and of all other powers enabling it in that behalf, this Council has altered the boundaries of the Rangitata and Anama Road Districts, whereby the Rangitata, Mount Somers, and Upper Ashburton Ridings of the County of Ashburton are no longer in conformity with the provisions of section 12 of “The Counties Act, 1886”: And whereas, by reason of such alteration, it is expedient to reduce the number of ridings in the said county to six, and for this purpose to abolish the Rangitata Riding, and to increase the representation of the Upper Ashburton Riding:

Now, the Council of the County of Ashburton doth hereby abolish the Rangitata Riding of the said county.

And this Council doth hereby alter the boundaries of the Mount Somers Riding and of the Upper Ashburton Riding, and doth order and declare that the boundaries thereof shall henceforth respectively be as follows:—

The Mount Somers Riding shall consist of the Mount Somers Road District, the boundaries whereof are defined in the New Zealand Gazette of the 11th day of October, 1894, and of the Anama Road District, the boundaries whereof are defined in the New Zealand Gazette of the 4th day of April, 1901.

The Upper Ashburton Riding shall consist of the Upper Ashburton Road District, the boundaries whereof are defined in the New Zealand Gazette of the 11th day of October, 1894, and of the Rangitata Road District, the boundaries whereof are defined in the New Zealand Gazette of the 4th day of April, 1901.

The number of Councillors henceforth to be elected by the Upper Ashburton Riding shall be two.

This special order shall come into full force at the next general election of this Council, but it shall come into force upon its being gazetted in so far and to such extent as may be necessary for preparing any roll or otherwise providing for such election.

I, Frederic Mainwaring, Clerk of the Ashburton County Council, do hereby certify that the above special order has been duly made by the said Council.
As witness my hand, this 7th day of June, 1902.
FREDERIC MAINWARING,
Clerk of the Ashburton County Council.
