Now therefore I, William Fitzherbert, the Superintendent of the Province of Wellington, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority vested in me by the said Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the remaining portion of the said Wanganui and Waitotara Highway District, the boundaries whereof are described in the schedule hereunder written, shall from and after the twenty-seventh day of April now instant, be and be deemed to be a Highway District within the meaning and for the purposes of the said Act, and that such district shall be called and known by the name of the “Wanganui and Waitotara Highway District.”
