MANUKAU COUNTY COUNCIL.

Special Order merging Manurewa Road District.

In exercise of the powers conferred on it by section 31 of the Counties Act, 1908, the Manukau County Council, on the petition of a majority of the ratepayers of the Manurewa Road District, resolves, by way of special order, that on and after the 7th day of August, 1917, the said road district shall be merged in the County of Manukau, and the Road Board thereof abolished.

I certify that the above is a copy of the special order therein referred to, and that such special order merging the Manurewa Road District into the Manukau County was duly passed by the Council of the said county on the 17th day of July, 1917.

ALEX. BELL,

Auckland, 23rd July, 1917.

Notice to Mariners.—No. 71 of 1917.

POVERTY BAY.—GISBORNE HARBOUR LEADING-LIGHTS.

Marine Department,
Wellington, N.Z., 7th August, 1917.

THE Gisborne Harbour Board have notified that on Wednesday, 22nd of August, 1917, the light on the rear leading-beacon (which has been raised from 60 ft. to 80 ft.) will be changed from a fixed white light to a white flashing light, flash showing 0·3 second followed by an eclipse for 0·7 second, or 60 flashes per minute. It should be seen from seaward over an arc of 30° between the bearings of about 352½° (N. 23° W. magnetic) and 322½° (N. 53° W. magnetic), and should be visible for a distance of fifteen miles. The light is an automatic unwatched light burning acetone acetylene gas. The light will now protect heavy-draught vessels from the five-fathoms patch on Kuri Panks, from which the line of obscuration is about seven cables clear.

Charts, &c., affected.—Admiralty Charts 3321 and 3343; “New Zealand Pilot,” eighth edition, 1908, Chapter iv, page 126; “New Zealand Nautical Almanac,” 1917, page 259.
