The objects of the said application and Bill are as follows:—

1. To empower the Porirua College Trust Board to employ the net income from the property at Porirua vested in it, and the net income from the funds representing the accumulated rental therefrom and interest (excepting such portion of such income as the said Board may deem it desirable to expend in scholarships in accordance with the scheme of an order of the Supreme Court of New Zealand dated the 7th day of September, 1900, in reference thereto), in the erection and maintenance of a school or schools at or near Otaki, in the Provincial District of Wellington, and in the acquisition of a site or sites therefor, upon the terms and conditions mentioned in the said Bill, and to that extent to vary the said order and scheme.

2. To provide the conditions with which the Porirua College Trust Board shall comply with regard to the school or schools to be established at or near Otaki.

3. To provide that the property at Otaki now vested in the New Zealand Mission Trust Board may be vested in Trustees, to be called “the Otaki Trustees,” and appointed by the Diocesan Trust Board of the Diocese of Wellington upon the trusts and subject to the provisions contained in the said Bill.

4. To provide that the net rents, issues, and profits received by the Otaki Trustees from the Otaki property, or from the investments thereof, shall be paid over to the Porirua College Trust Board, to be applied by it in or towards the erection and maintenance of the aforesaid school or schools at or near Otaki.

5. To provide for the revesting of the Otaki property, or the investments representing the same, in the New Zealand Mission Trust Board, upon the trusts upon which the same are now held, in the event of the General Synod of the Church of the Province of New Zealand, commonly called “the Church of England,” being of opinion—

   (a.) That the Porirua College Trust Board has not within a reasonable time established the school or schools at or near Otaki in accordance with the provisions of the said Bill;

   (b.) That the school or schools to be established at or near Otaki fails or fail to carry out the provisions of the said Bill with regard to religious instruction.

A copy of the said petition and Bill will be deposited in the office of the Examiner of Standing Orders within fourteen days after the commencement of the session.

Dated at Wellington, this 13th day of May, 1907.

NOTICE.

In the matter of a Bill intituled “An Act to authorise the Dunedin Suburban Gas Company (Limited) to continue to supply Gas in the Boroughs of St. Kilda, Mornington, and Roslyn, and in the Caversham Ward of the City of Dunedin.”

NOTICE is hereby given that it is the intention of the Dunedin Suburban Gas Company (Limited) to introduce in the forthcoming session of Parliament a Bill intituled “An Act to authorise the Dunedin Suburban Gas Company (Limited) to continue to supply Gas in the Boroughs of St. Kilda, Mornington, and Roslyn, and in the Caversham Ward of the City of Dunedin.”

The objects of the said Bill are as follows:—

(1.) To confer power on the said company to continue to manufacture gas within the said Ward of Caversham, and to continue to supply gas for public and private purposes within the limits of the district defined by the Act; and for the purpose of supplying gas as aforesaid, to lay down and maintain in and under the streets within the limits of the district gas-mains, service-pipes, and other apparatus.

(2.) To define the district referred to as the area within the said boroughs and the said ward, and any area outside thereof within which the local authority having jurisdiction in respect thereof shall authorise the company to supply gas.

(3.) To provide that the minimum illuminating-power of the gas to be supplied by the company shall not be less than that of fourteen candles each, burning 120 grains of sperm per hour; and to make provision for an apparatus being affixed to the company’s principal works for the purpose of ascertaining the illuminating-power, to be open at all reasonable times to any local authority or any officer they may appoint in writing for the purpose.

(4.) To fix the maximum price of gas for private consumption at 10s. per thousand cubic feet, subject to a discount of not less than 3s. per thousand cubic feet upon all gas accounts paid at the Gas Office on or before the 20th day of the month following that of the supply, or a discount of not less than 1s. 6d. per thousand cubic feet if paid at such office on or before the last day of such month; but so that the company is not to be bound to allow any such discount in respect of any account if the person liable thereon is in arrear with the payment of his account for any previous month unless his arrears be paid, together with the current account.

(5.) To provide that the profits of the company to be divided amongst its shareholders shall not exceed 10 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital of the company, unless a larger retention of profit be at any time necessary to make up the deficiency in the profits of a preceding year, and if it be that the divisible profits of the company after providing for such deficiency exceed 10 per cent. per annum on the paid-up capital, the company is to make a rateable increase in the discount, but so that such rates when reduced shall insure to the company a profit as near as may be to the prescribed rate.

(6.) To provide for the company furnishing a copy of its balance-sheet to the Council of the city and of each borough within the district, and producing to any officer of any Council the company’s books of account and vouchers, to enable such Council to verify such balance-sheet.

(7.) To confer on the Council of the City of Dunedin or the Council of any borough within the district within the limits of supply, or on any two or more such local authorities acting for the purpose in conjunction upon such terms as between or amongst each other as they shall agree upon, the right at any time, after the expiration of six calendar months’ notice in writing to the company of its or their intention so to do, to purchase the whole of the company’s gasworks and undertaking at a price which, if not agreed on, shall be determined by arbitration; and so that in the event of such notice being given the purchase shall be deemed to have been made on the date of the expiration of such notice; and so that the purchase-money shall be paid within three calendar months after that date; such arbitration to be an arbitration by two persons or their umpire, and the notice of intention to purchase to be deemed a submission to arbitration, and “The Arbitration Act, 1890,” is to apply accordingly.
