Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section twelve of the Harbours Amend-
ment Act, 1910 (hereinafter referred to as " the said
Act "), it is enacted that the creation, abolition, merger,
union, division, or other alteration of any constituent or
combined district shall not in itself have any operation so
as to affect the then existing membership of the Board, and
that the Governor-General may from time to time by Order
in Council, whenever in his opinion it becomes necessary 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 by the said Act the City of Wellington was
made a constituent district for the election of four members,
and the Counties of Hutt and Makara, the Boroughs of
Onslow, Karori, Miramar, Petone, Lower Hutt, and East-
bourne, and the Town Districts of Johnsonville and Upper
Hutt were made a combined district for the election of two
members of the Wellington Harbour Board :

And whereas by Proclamation of the Governor-General
the City of Wellington and the Borough of Onslow have be-
come one united borough by the name of the City of Wel-
lington, as from the first day of April, one thousand nine
hundred and nineteen, and it is necessary to make provision
for the representation of the districts hereinbefore mentioned
on the Wellington Harbour Board :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of
the Dominion 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 Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby
order and declare that four members of the Wellington Har-
bour Board shall be elected by the electors of the City of
Wellington as now constituted, and two members by the
electors of the combined district of the Counties of Hutt and
Makara, the Boroughs of Karori, Miramar, Petone, Lower
Hutt, and Eastbourne, and the Town Districts of Johnson-
ville and Upper Hutt, in lieu of four members by the electors
of the City of Wellington as constituted prior to the first day
of April, one thousand nine hundred and nineteen, and two
members by the electors of the combined district of the
Counties of Hutt and Makara, the Boroughs of Onslow,
Karori, Miramar, Petone, Lower Hutt, and Eastbourne, and
the Town Districts of Johnsonville and Upper Hutt; and
doth hereby select and appoint the Petone Borough Council
to be the principal authority for the purpose of such elections
by the electors of the said combined district as hereby altered.
