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 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 First day of February instant, made under the authority of the said Act, the Masterton Highways District constituted by the said Act was divided into two districts, one thereof being named the "Taratahi-Carterton Highway District," and the other the "Masterton Highway District." And whereas it is expedient to divide the said new Districts into Wards, as provided by the said Act.

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 said Taratahi-Carterton Highway District shall be, and the same is hereby divided into seven Wards, the boundaries whereof are respectively defined in the First Schedule hereto, and that the said Masterton Highway District shall be and the same is hereby divided into Six Wards, the boundaries whereof are respectively defined in the Second Schedule hereto.
