STEPS to be taken by Highway Boards for levying separate rates, under “The Highway Boards Empowering Act, 1872.”

1. When it appears to a Highway Board that any work or improvement is for the special benefit of any particular portion of a Highway District, a separate rate may be levied for defraying the cost.

2. Public notice in some newspaper usually circulated in the District must be given of the intention to levy such a rate, at least one calendar month before it is levied. The Notice may be in the form “A.”

3. If within the month a protest in writing signed by at least one half of the ratepayers of that portion of the District to be specially taxed, reckoned according to their votes, is left at the office of the Highway Board the rate cannot be levied.

4. If no such protest is so left, a special order distinctly defining the portion of the district on which the rate is to be levied and fixing the amount of the rate may be made by the Board. This order may be in the form “B.”

5. When made, the order must be sent to the Superintendent for his approval. No further step can be taken till this approval is obtained, but when obtained the Board may proceed.

6. The assessment list, as finally settled by the Board under the Highways Act 1871, is the basis for assessing the amount to be paid by each person liable.

7. So much of this List as comprises the names of the persons on whom the rate is levied must be copied into a book to be kept for that purpose to be called the “Separate Rate Book,” and the amount payable by each ratepayer inserted opposite his name.

8. Such entry must be certified under the hands of the Chairman and two other members of the Board and the book must be open to the inspection of any ratepayer of the District at all reasonable times.

9. The amount of a separate rate must not exceed one shilling in the pound of the annual value or one penny in the pound of the value to sell. More rates than one may be levied in like manner in the same year provided their aggregate amount does not exceed the amount specified viz. one shilling in the pound of the annual value or one penny in the pound of the value to sell.

10. The rate must be paid as required by section 42 of the Highways Act 1871 and if not so paid may be recovered as therein provided.

11. Money raised for a special rate can only be expended for the purpose for which the rate is levied.
