PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, by the 13th Section of
"The Gold Fields Act, 1866," it is
enacted that it shall be lawful for the
Governor to authorise the construction by
private enterprise, of any road, bridge,
wharf, ferry, or other public work, for the
use and benefit of the public, and to permit
the occupation, for a limited period, of sites
for the same, and to provide for the payment
of such tolls for a limited period by all
persons using the same as he shall deem
reasonable, and the Governor in Council may
from time to time, make, alter, and revoke
regulations for collecting such tolls, and for
preventing the evasion thereof, and generally
for the control and management of the said
roads, bridges, wharves, ferries, or other
public works, and such Regulations upon and
after being published in the Gazette of the
Province to which they may apply shall have
the force of law:

And whereas, by the one hundred and
ninth Section of the said Act, it is enacted
that it shall be lawful for the Governor in
Council under his hand and the Public Seal
of the Colony, from time to time to delegate
to such person as the Governor may think
fit, all or any of the powers vested in the
Governor by the said Act, except the powers
conferred by Sections twenty-two, forty,
forty-eight, sixty, ninety-six, and one hundred
and seven thereof, subject or not to any
limitations or restrictions as he may think
fit:

And whereas, by an instrument in writing,
dated the 2nd day of February, one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-four, and published
in the New Zealand Gazette, No. 13, of
the 26th February, 1874, His Excellency
the Governor did, by and with the advice of
the Executive Council of the Colony, delegate
unto me, James Alexander Bonar,
Superintendent of the Province of Westland,
all the powers vested in the Governor under
or by virtue of "The Gold Fields Act, 1866,"
except the powers conferred by Sections
eleven, twenty-two, forty, forty-eight, sixty,
ninety-six, and one hundred and seven of the
said Act, to have, hold, and exercise the
said powers hereby delegated to me within
the Province of Westland:

And whereas it is expedient that the
undermentioned persons should be allowed
to collect such tolls and occupy the sites of
the ferries mentioned in the Schedules hereto
annexed, for the periods set opposite to their
respective names:

Now therefore, I, James Alexander Bonar,
Superintendent of the Province of Westland,

vested in and delegated to me, do hereby
notify that I have appointed the under-
