IN pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by section sixty-six of the Hawke’s Bay Earthquake Act, 1931, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following miscellaneous regulations for the purposes of the said Act.

(a) The Mayor or the Town Clerk shall forthwith notify to the Minister of Labour the day so decided on, and the Minister shall thereupon, by notice in the Gazette as soon as practicable thereafter, appoint that day to be the statutory closing-day in the district:

(b) The statutory closing-day so appointed by the Minister shall be the statutory closing-day in the district on and from such date as may be fixed in the said Gazette notice, and shall so continue until altered by a like notice under the Shops and Offices Act, 1921–22:

(c) Such Gazette notice shall according to its tenor be conclusive evidence of the matters stated therein, and of the statutory closing-day appointed in the separate district specified therein.

3. If the statutory closing-day in either of the said districts is fixed in accordance with the foregoing provisions of these regulations, it shall, in the year 1932 and in every succeeding year, be fixed pursuant either to section 15 or to section 18, as the case may be, of the Shops and Offices Act, 1921–22, unless and until it is again fixed as the result of a poll pursuant to section 20 of that Act.
