RESOLUTION MAKING AND LEVYING SPECIAL RATE.

IN pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested in it in
that behalf by the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and
its amendments, and the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908,
and its amendments, the New Brighton Borough Council
hereby resolves as follows:—

That, for the purpose of providing for the payment of
interest and sinking fund and other charges on a loan of four
hundred and thirty-five pounds (£435), authorized to be raised
by the New Brighton Borough Council, under the above-
mentioned Acts and any amendments thereto, for the follow-
ing purposes—to complete the work of forming, metalling,
kerbing, and channelling certain streets and footpaths in the
North and West New Brighton Special-rating Area—(being
10 per cent. additional on a special loan of four thousand five
hundred pounds (£4,500) authorized to be raised by a poll
of ratepayers taken on the 17th day of January, 1912, that
amount being insufficient to complete the works for which
such loan was raised), the said New Brighton Borough Council
appropriates the special rate of five and one-fifth (5 and 1/5)
of a penny in the pound upon the rateable value of all rateable
property of the North and West New Brighton Special-rating
Area within the said borough, being all that area, being part
of the Borough of New Brighton, bounded towards the west

corner of Reserve 1616, towards the south-east by that
reserve and Reserve 1579, again towards the north-east by
Reserve 1579 and Rural Section 34174, and again towards the

north-eastern boundary and by the south-eastern boundary
of Lot 40 on deposited plan 1096, and by the south-eastern
boundary of Lot 11 on deposited plan 785, and towards the
south-west by the North Avon Road, such special rate being
struck by resolution duly passed on the 5th day of February,
1912, and duly gazetted; and the said special rate shall be
an annually recurring rate during the currency of the said
supplementary loan, being a period of thirty-six and a half
(36½) years, or until the loan is fully paid off.

The above resolution was duly passed at a duly constituted
meeting of the New Brighton Borough Council held on the
