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 from time to time may revoke or
alter any such Proclamation: 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 Province of Westland
Act, 1873," it is, among other things, enacted
that after the first election of a Superintendent of the Province of Westland, whenever
in any Act far the time being in force
mention or reference is made to the County
of Westland, such Act shall be construed
and read as if in such Act the Province of
Westland was mentioned or referred to,
instead of the County of Westland: And
whereas "The Province of Westland Act,
1873," came into operation on the first day
of December, one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-three, in accordance with the
terms of a Proclamation made in pursuance
thereof, and published in the New Zealand
Gazette on the sixth day of November, one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-three,
and a Superintendent of the said Province
has been elected as Superintendent thereof:
And whereas it is expedient that the roads
mentioned and defined in the Schedules
hereto should be constructed under the
firstly in part recited Act: And whereas in
the opinion of the Governor of the Colony
of New Zealand, and the Executive Council
of New Zealand, the said roads are not
roads which should be constructed by the
Superintendent and the Provincial Council
of the Province of Westland:

Now, therefore, I, Sir James Fergusson,
Baronet, the Governor of the Colony of
New Zealand, in exercise and pursuance of
the power and authority in me vested by the
said Acts, and of every other power and
authority enabling me in that behalf, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the roads
within the Province of Westland described,
and the boundaries whereof are set forth
in the Schedules hereto, shall respectively be
and be deemed to be roads under the provisions of the said firstly in part recited
Act; and in further pursuance of "The
Immigration and Public Works Act, 1870,"
I do hereby proclaim and declare that I
have caused a map and survey plan of the
road defined in the first Schedule hereto,
describing the course and bearings and the
admeasurements required for the same, and
through what lands the same is proposed to
pass, and the names of the owners or occupiers thereof, so far as known, to be deposited
in the office of the Public Works Department at Hokitika, in the Province of West-
land; and I have also caused a like map and
survey plan of the road defined in the
second Schedule and containing like particulars, to be deposited in the office of the said
Department at Hokitika aforesaid; and I
have also caused a like map and survey plan
of the road defined in the third Schedule,
and containing like particulars, to be
deposited in the office of the said Department at Hokitika aforesaid; which said
maps and survey plans are authenticated,
for the purposes of this Proclamation, by
the signature of the Honorable Edward
Richardson, Minister for Public Works.
