Proclamation.

By His Honor William Fitzherbert, Esquire, C.M.G., Superintendent of the Province of Wellington, in the Colony of New Zealand.

BY virtue of the power conferred upon me by the 84th clause of "The Highways Act, 1874," I, William Fitzherbert, Superintendent of the Province of Wellington, do hereby proclaim and appoint that on and after Monday, the twenty-ninth day of May, 1876, the following clause shall be in force in the Rangitikei Highway District:—

Whenever it shall appear to the satisfaction of any Highway Board that the weight carried on vehicles having the breadth of their wheels of less than five inches requires to be restricted, the Board may, by notice posted in the district, or by advertisement inserted at least twice in some newspaper circulating in the district, give notice that all such vehicles will be subject to a penalty of not less than one shilling per hundred weight or fractional part of a hundred weight so carried above the weight of one ton five hundred weight on two wheels, or two tons ten hundred weight on four wheels, and that such penalty shall be recoverable at the suit of the collector or other agent appointed for that purpose by the Board.

Provided for the carrying into operation of this clause the Board shall be empowered to take such steps as to them shall appear necessary for ascertaining the weight of any load, and no liability or damage shall accrue for any necessary delay in ascertaining the said weight.

Given under my hand, and issued under the public seal of the Province of Wellington, at Wellington, this twenty-sixth day of May, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-six.
