opinion it becomes necessary or expedient so to do, make
such provision with respect to the representation of any part
of any constituent or combined district as he thinks fit :

And whereas the Borough of New Plymouth and the Town
Districts of Fitzroy and St. Aubyn, which were made a com-
bined district for the election of two members of the New
Plymouth Harbour Board, have become one united borough
by the name of the Borough of New Plymouth, and it is
necessary to make provision for the representation of the
said district on the New Plymouth Harbour Board :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise 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

and declare that two members of the New Plymouth Harbour
Board shall be elected by the electors of the Borough of New
Plymouth (in which have been merged the Town Districts of
Fitzroy and St. Aubyn), in lieu of two members by the electors
of the Combined District of the Borough of New Plymouth
and the Town Districts of Fitzroy and St. Aubyn.

Second-class Land.

LOCALITY AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION.

Situated in the South Waimarino (Waipapa Valley) Block,
immediately to the north-west of the Mangatiti Block. One
means of access is via the Wanganui River landing, at the
mouth of the Mangatiti Stream, opposite to and a little above
Parinui Pa, and thence by horse and survey track up the
Mangatiti Stream, through Native Reserve 5, a distance of
about six miles; another way is from Raetihi by the Raetihi-
Ohura (Orautoha) Road through the Ruatiti Block, a distance
of thirty miles, the last two miles being pack-track only.

Sections 2 and 3, Block III, and 3, 4, 5, Block VI, already
have access by horse-tracks; the remaining sections have
access at present by surveyed roads only.

The whole block is covered by forest, light to medium, con-
sisting of tawa, tawhero, rata, with a few rimu, matai, &c.,
and an occasional totara, with birch on the higher elevations.
The country is broken, and ranges in elevation from about
700 ft. to 2,200 ft. above sea-level. The soil is light, on a
papa and sandstone formation, with a good depth on the
small flats along the large streams. This country, although
far inland, is said to have little snow, the climate not being
so severe as on the higher land nearer the mountains.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this twenty-sixth day of March, one thousand
nine hundred and thirteen.
