A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by a special order made by the Waipawa County Council under “The Counties Act, 1886,” and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the thirtieth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and two, the County of Waipawa was divided into certain ridings, the boundaries whereof were described in the said special order: And whereas it appears that some parts of the boundaries of the said ridings are misdescribed or insufficiently described in such special order, and it is expedient to rectify the same:
