HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of all powers and authorities
vested in him by “ The Government Valuation of Land
Act, 1896,” His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of

the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby alter

cil dated the fifteenth day of February, one thousand eight
hundred and ninety-eight, to the following extent:—

1. In clause one by adding the following definition:—

“ ‘ Valuation ’ means an estimate of the value of any
land, or interest therein, either with improvements or
without improvements, or of the value of improvements
alone, or of any single improvement or group of im-
provements, or of any interest therein.”

2. Clause twenty, as amended by regulations one and two
   made by Order in Council dated the thirteenth day of Sep-
   tember, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, is
   hereby revoked, and the following is substituted therefor:—

“ 20. (1.) The fees chargeable for supplying certified
copies of the valuations appearing on the general
valuation-roll shall be not less than 6d. and not more
than £1 1s. in each case, as the Valuer-General deter-
mines: Provided that the fee chargeable for supplying
certified copies in cases where a new valuation is neces-
sary in order that the Valuer-General may satisfy him-
self that the entry on the general valuation-roll is
correct as to the then value and other particulars, shall
be as follows:—

“ (a.) When the valuation does not exceed £500,
a fee of 10s; when the valuation exceeds
£500 but does not exceed £1,000, a fee of £1.

“ (b.) And the last-mentioned fee shall be increased
by 10s. for each additional £1,000 or part of
£1,000 of valuation.

“ (2.) The fee chargeable to any person who may re-
quire the Valuer-General to make a new valuation of
such person’s property shall be the same as that charge-
able under the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of sub-
clause (1) hereof.

“ (3.) In the case of two or more properties or in-
terests in properties situate in the same or contiguous
local districts and belonging to the same owner, the
fees prescribed under the foregoing paragraphs (a) and
(b) of subclause (1) hereof, and under subclause (2)
hereof, may be computed on the aggregate valuation of
such properties or interests, instead of on the separate
valuations.

“ (4.) The provisions contained in paragraphs (a) and
(b) of subclause (1) hereof and subclause (2) hereof shall
take effect as from the 1st day of January, 1899.

“ (5.) Nothing in this clause contained shall affect
any special arrangement, whether of a general nature or
relating to a particular case, which may have been or
may hereafter be made between the Valuer-General and
any public office or department named in subclause (b)
of clause 40 of these regulations, or any statutory
public body, with reference to the amount of fee to be
charged for a certified copy of a valuation or for a new
valuation, or with reference to any annual contribution
in lieu of fees. The amount of any fee or contribution
payable pursuant to any such arrangement as aforesaid
shall be in lieu of the fee or fees otherwise payable
under this clause.”
