Authorizing the laying-off of a Road of less Width than 66 ft.

WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Minister of Lands, it is inexpedient, by reason of the fact that the land shown upon the plan of Mount Pleasant Extension No. 20, affecting part of Rural Section 4, in Block XVI, Christchurch Survey District, is intended to be used wholly for residential purposes, that the road shown therein as Te Awakura Terrace should be of the width of 66 ft.

Now, therefore, I, Ethelbert Alfred Ransom, Minister of Lands, do hereby, in pursuance of the power conferred upon me by section 17, subsection (1), of the Land Act, 1924, and of every other power me thereunto enabling, authorize the laying-off of such road of a width of not less than 40 ft.: Provided always that is shall not be lawful for any person to erect or cause to be erected any building at a less distance than 33 ft. from the middle of such roads.

Given under my hand, this 24th day of July, 1930.

E. A. RANSOM, Minister of Lands.
