ORDER IN COUNCIL

At the Government House at Wellington, this seventeenth day of September, 1917.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL

WHEREAS by section forty-seven of the Customs Act, 1913, as extended by section twenty-four of the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, it is enacted that the Governor-General may, by Order in Council gazetted, prohibit the exportation of any goods the prohibition of the exportation of which is in his opinion necessary in the public interest :

And whereas in the opinion of the Governor-General it is necessary in the public interest that the exportation of iron wire, wire nails and staples, and manufactured articles of metal generally should be prohibited :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon him by section forty-seven of the Customs Act, 1913, and section twenty-four of the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, 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 that Dominion, doth hereby prohibit the exportation of iron wire, wire nails and staples, and manufactured articles of metal generally from the said Dominion, save with the consent of the Minister of Customs.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

Military Service Act, 1916.—Abolition of Recruiting Districts.

WHEREAS on the 25th day of September, 1916, the Minister of Defence, acting in pursuance of the authority conferred upon him by section 32 of the Military Service Act, 1916, did by order signed by him divide New Zealand into recruiting districts as specified in that order, to the intent that men called up for military service under that Act should be selected from the district registers of those recruiting districts instead of from a single register for the whole of New Zealand :

And whereas by reason of the discontinuance of the system of the voluntary enlistment of reservists of the First Division, and by reason of the classification of the Second Division of the Reserve, it is deemed expedient that men called up for service with the Expeditionary Force should be selected from a single register for the whole of New Zealand instead of from district registers as heretofore:

Now, therefore, I, James Allen, Minister of Defence for the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby, in exercise of the authority conferred upon me by section 32 of the Military Service Act, 1916, revoke the aforesaid order made by me on the 25th day of September, 1916, for the establishment of recruiting districts under the said Act.

Dated at Wellington this 17th day of September, 1917.

J. ALLEN,
Minister of Defence.
