PROCLAMATION
By His Honor William Fitzherbert,
Esquire, C.M.G., Superintendent
of the Province of Wellington, in
the Colony of New Zealand.
WHEREAS by “The Highways Act,
1874” it is among other things
enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Superintendent from time to time by
proclamation in the Government Gazette,
to divide any district, or districts, into
two or more new districts, and that no
such proclamation shall be issued, or
shall have any force or effect, unless the
Superintendent shall first have received a
petition praying for the issue of such
proclamation, signed by at least two-thirds of the ratepayers reckoned according
to their votes within the boundaries
of the district which such petition prays
may be established, and that in every
proclamation whereby a Highway District
shall be proclaimed under the said Act,
the named boundaries of the district shall
be set forth, and from and after a day to be
fixed in and by such proclamation (such
day being not more than twenty days
from the first publication thereof in the
Government Gazette), the district named
and defined therein shall be and be
deemed to be a Highway District within
the meaning and for the purposes of the
said Act. And whereas a petition has
been received by the said Superintendent,
signed by at least two-thirds of the ratepayers reckoned in accordance with the
provisions of the said Act, praying for
the issue of a proclamation dividing the
land therein described (being part of the
Wanganui and Waitotara Highway District),
and for constituting the same a
new district as therein mentioned.
Now therefore I, William Fitzherbert,
Superintendent of the Province of Wellington, in pursuance and exercise of the
power and authority vested in me by
the hereinbefore in part recited Act, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the
block of land, the boundaries of which are
described in the Schedule hereto (heretofore forming part of the Wanganui and
Waitotara Highway District), shall from
and after the twenty-sixth day of April,
now instant, be and be deemed to be a
Highway District within the meaning, or
for the purposes of the said Act, and
that such district shall be called and
known by the name of “The Wairoa
Highway District.”
Given under my hand, and issued
under the Public Seal of the Province
of Wellington, at Wellington,
this tenth day of April, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-five.
William Fitzherbert,
Superintendent.
Countersigned,
Henry Bunny,
