WHEREAS by an Order in Council dated the ninth day of August, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, made under the provisions of “The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,” certain road works between Greymouth and Ross, in the County of Westland, were prescribed and declared to be road works for the purposes of the said Act: And whereas by “The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1872,” it is, among other things, enacted that all the provisions contained in Part I. and Part VI. of “The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,” shall be applicable to the County of Westland and the Nelson South-West Gold Fields, and may be adapted and used with reference to those portions of the Colony as if such portions had formed part of the North Island: And whereas by the said firstly recited Act it is, among other things, enacted that the Governor from time to time, by Proclamation published in the “New Zealand Gazette,” may define the roads and the boundaries thereof, and the bridges and ferries which shall be and be deemed to be roads, bridges, or ferries, as the case may be, under the provisions of the said Act, and any such Proclamation may include existing roads, but no such roads or parts of roads shall be included if they are, in the opinion of the Governor in Council, roads which should be constructed by the Superintendent and the Provincial Council of the Province wherein such roads are situated, as well as new road lines; and the Governor may from time to time revoke or alter any such Proclamation: And whereas it has been deemed expedient to alter the line of a portion of the said road from Greymouth to Ross, namely, that portion thereof lying between Greymouth and Marsden:

Now therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson, Baronet, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of every power and authority enabling me in that behalf, do hereby proclaim and declare that the said line of road shall be altered by excepting thereout that portion of the said road works between Omo-tu-mu-tu and Marsden; and that in lieu thereof a road between Greymouth and Marsden by way of what is known as the “Sawyers’ Creek Route,” as the same is described in the Schedule hereto, shall be constructed, under the powers in the said Acts contained, and shall be and become a part of the said road from Greymouth to Ross:

And I do hereby also proclaim and declare that, in accordance with the provisions of “The Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,” the said piece of road intended to be part of the said road from Greymouth to Ross is delineated on a map and survey plan thereof deposited in the office of the Public Works Department at Greymouth, in the County of Westland.
