NOTICE is hereby given, that the
Governor of New Zealand having,
under the powers in him vested by "The
Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,"
and the Acts amending the same, deemed it
expedient to open and make a line of road from
the main road between Greymouth and Ross to
South Creek, which road is, in the opinion
of the Governor and the Executive Council
of the Colony, not a road to be constructed by
the Chairman and County Council of the
County of Westland, and the course and
bearings of which said road, the admeasurements
required for the same, and the lands
through which the same passes, together with
the names of the owners and occupiers thereof,
so far as known, are respectively shown and
delineated on a certain plan marked C, and
which said road is also described in a certain
Proclamation made under the said Acts and
published in the New Zealand Gazette of
the same date as that in which this notice
appears.\n
The said plan, marked C, is deposited and
may be seen and inspected at the office of the
Public Works Department at Greymouth.

And notice is hereby further given, that
all or any person or persons affected by the
making of the said line of road between
Greymouth and Ross to South Creek, are
required to set forth in writing, addressed to
the Governor, and left at the office of the
said Public Works Department at Greymouth
within forty days from the first publication
hereof, any well-grounded objection he or
they may have to the said line of road.

Dated this twentieth day of August, 1873.

EDWARD RICHARDSON.
