Petition PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT THE FOLLOWING PETITION IS ABOUT TO BE PRESENTED TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR. rpO His Excellency Sir William FranI cis Drummond Jervois, Lieutenant General in Her Majesty's Army, Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, Companion of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over Her Majesty's Colony of New Zealand and its Dependencies. This is the humble prayer of your petitioners, County electors in the Ridings of Manchester, Taonui aad Kiwitea, in the County of Manawatu, in the Provincial District of Wellington— Sheweth 1. That the three northern ridings of Manchester, Taonui and Kiwitea consist principally of bush country, while the four southern ridings of Oroua, Kawakawa, Awahou and Horowbenua, are mainly open land, and that from this and other reasons, the northern ridings are so differently circumstanced from the southern ridings as to render the mode of local government which may be suitable to the one district eminently undesirable for the other. 2. That the feeling of your petitioners, the country electors in the northern ridings, above-mentioned, is, that the system under which the local affairs of the North Manawatu are administered by one County Council presiding over the whole of the Manawatu, and also by the various Road and Town Boards within the northern district, is unsatisfactory and expensive, and they fully believe that the local government of the three northern ridings could be more economically and effectually carried on by the abolition of this dual system, and by working under the existing Road and 1 own Boards only. 3. That under the legislation at present in force, the only course open to your petitioners, by which they can effect the above object, is to petition under the 14th and 16th clauses of the Counties Act, 1876, for the formation of the three northern ridings into a separate County, under the name of Manawatu North, with a view to thereafter suspending the Counties Act within the boundaries of such new County, under the 11th and 12th clauses of the Counties Act, 1876, or by petitioning that your Excellency would proclaim such suspension under the Bth clause of the County Amendment Act, 1882. 4. That the said ridings contain upwards of 300,000 acres of land, and the County electors therein number 1087. 5. That your petitioners therefore respectfully pray that your Excellency will, under the powers vested in you by the 14th. and 15th clauses of the Coun« ties Act, 1876, proclaim the three ridings ot Manchester, Kiwitea and Taonui, in the County of Manawatu (the boundaries of which are more particularly described in a General Government Gazette, dated the 28th November, 1876), a new County, under the name of County of Manawatu North. And your petitioners will ever pray, &c, &c. May 3rd, 1883. (Here follow the signatures).
