WHEREAS by “The Highways Act 1874” it is enacted among other things that “upon the constitution of Highway Districts under the said Act the same shall be divided into Wards by the Superintendent, who shall from time to time by proclamation in the Government Gazette define the boundaries of such Wards, and may from time to time abolish any such Wards and proclaim and define new Wards: Provided that the number of Wards in any proclaimed district shall never be less than five nor more than seven, and that when any town is included within a district the boundaries of the Ward shall always be so fixed that the whole of such town shall be included in one Ward.”
And whereas by two several proclamations bearing date the tenth day of April instant, made under the authority of the said Act, the Wanganui and Waitotara Highway District constituted by the said Act was divided into two districts, one thereof being named the “Wairoa Highway District,” and the other the “Wanganui and Waitotara Highway District.”
And whereas it is expedient to divide the said new Districts into Wards, as provided by the said Act:
