Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me by section one hundred and thirty-three of the said Act, and of every other power and authority in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the sections of land described in the Schedule hereto, which have been set apart for selection by discharged soldiers under the said Act, shall be open on Tuesday, the sixth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, for disposal on renewable lease, as provided in section one hundred and thirty-five of the said Act :

And I do also declare that for the purposes of section one hundred and twenty-seven of the said Act the sections of land described in the Schedule shall be deemed to be “heavy-bush” land :
