By His Honor John Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the Province of Otago.

Whereas by an Ordinance passed by the Superintendent and Provincial Council of the Province of Otago, intituled the “Roads Ordinance Amendment Ordinance, 1862,” it is among other things enacted in the 12th Section thereof, that for the purposes of the said Ordinance, the said Province, except as is therein excepted, may from time to time be divided into districts; and until otherwise provided, pursuant to the provisions of the said Ordinance, there shall be twenty-five districts, which shall be named and bounded as in the Schedule to the said Ordinance annexed; and it is also in the said 12th Section provided that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent, with the advice and consent of the General Road Board, from time to time, by proclamation in the Government Gazette, to alter, vary, diminish, or enlarge the boundaries of any or all of such districts, and to increase the number of districts by forming and naming new districts, or by dividing any district into two or more districts.

And whereas in the said Schedule, the Silverstream Road District, therein named, is described as comprising all that area bounded on the north by the boundary of the Hundreds; on the east and south, by Wakari and Kaikorai Districts; on the south and west, by a direct continuation of the line halving Blocks IV. and IX., Taieri Districts, from the Chain Hills to Culling’s Creek; thence by Culling’s Creek and its western source to station L, on Boulder Hill.

And whereas in the said Schedule, the North Taieri Road District, therein named, is described as comprising all that area bounded on the north by Boulder Burn, and its middle branch to Station L, on Boulder Hill; on the east, by Silverstream District; on the east and south, by a direct continuation of the line having Blocks XXI., XXII., and XII., extending from the centre of Block IX. to the Taieri River; and on the west by the Taieri River.

And whereas in the said Schedule, the East Taieri Road District is described as comprising all that area bounded on the north by North Taieri and Silverstream District; on the east and south, by the watershed of the Chain Hill Ranges and the Trunk Road; and on the west, by Sgrogg’s Creek Village Reserve and the Taieri River.

And whereas it is expedient to abolish the North Taieri Road District, and to alter and diminish the boundaries of the Silverstream and East Taieri Road Districts, and to form four new Road Districts, to be called respectively the Abbotsford, Salisbury, Breadalbane, and Owhiro Road Districts.

Now therefore, I, John Hyde Harris, Superintendent of the said Province, with the advice and consent of the said General Road Board, do hereby proclaim and declare that the said North Taieri Road District shall, from the day of the date hereof be abolished and that, from the day of the date hereof, the said Silverstream and East Taieri Road Districts shall be altered and diminished. And that henceforth,

The Silverstream Road District shall comprise all that area, bounded towards the north by the northern boundaries of Blocks III. and IV., Dunedin and East Taieri Survey District; towards the west, by block II., Dunedin and East Taieri Survey District; towards the south-west, by section 50, irregular block, and sections 11 and 5, block IX., and section 11, block V., Taieri Survey District; towards the south-east, by sections 4, 3, 2, and 1, block V., and sections 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1, block XIII., Taieri Survey District; towards the south, by the Dunedin to West Taieri Road, to the southern angle of section 8, block IV., Dunedin and East Taieri Survey District, and thence to the south-eastern angle of the last said section; and towards the east, by block V., Dunedin and East Taieri Survey District.
