local authorities to be the principal authority for the purposes of such election :

And whereas by Order in Council dated the twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the second day of the following month, the Governor did, by Order in Council, select and appoint certain local authorities to be the principal authorities for the purposes of the election of members of the Harbour Boards set forth therein by the electors of combined districts :

And whereas it is desirable to amend the said Order in Council in respect of the Lyttelton Harbour Board, and to select and appoint the principal authority for the purposes of the election of a member of the Auckland Harbour Board by the electors of the County of Manukau, in which county the Counties Act, 1908, is not in force :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby amend the said Order in Council of the twenty-seventh day of February, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, in respect of the Lyttelton Harbour Board, by deleting the word “Spreydon” from the list of counties constituted out of the County of Selwyn, and by adding after the words “Selwyn and Springs” the words “and the Borough of Spreydon.”

And His Excellency the Governor, in exercise of the hereinbefore-recited powers and authorities, and with the like advice and consent, doth hereby select and appoint the Otahuhu Road Board, being one of the Road Boards in the County of Manukau, to be the principal authority for the election of a member of the Auckland Harbour Board by the electors of the County of Manukau.
