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 said Act, do hereby proclaim and declare that the said Karori-Makara District shall be, and the same is hereby divided into five Wards, the boundaries whereof are respectively defined in the First Schedule hereto, and that the said Wellington Highway District shall be and the same is hereby divided into six Wards, the boundaries whereof are respectively defined in the Second Schedule hereto.
