And whereas a petition has been received by the said Superintendent, signed by at least two-thirds of the ratepayers reckoned in accordance with the provisions of the said Act, praying for the issue of a Proclamation dividing the land therein described (being part of the Manawatu Highway District), and for constituting the same a new district as therein mentioned.
