At a Meeting of the Mining Drainage

begun and holden at Ross, in the said
District, on the 31st of May, 1870, it
is enacted as follows:—

That is to say—

Whereas under an Act to provide for
"Drainage of Lands for purposes of Gold
Mining," passed on the 20th day of October,
1868, by the General Assembly of New
Zealand, and by authority of the same, the
District of Jones’ Flat was by Proclamation
on the 28th day of November, 1868, in the
County of Westland Gazette, proclaimed a
Mining Drainage Act.

Whereas under the said Act, Section 12,
Sub-section 4, power is given to the said

Be it therefore ordered and directed by the

the purpose of redeeming the sum of
£279 18s 4d already expended since the

Board to the end of the current year. An
equal rate of one penny shall be levied upon
