LIVERPOOL, Governor.

WHEREAS by section 73 of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, it is inter alia provided that where part only of any area over which a special rate is made as security for a loan is merged or included within the district of a local authority other than the local authority that made the rate, then the whole of the liability in respect of the loan shall continue to be of a liability of the local authority that raised the loan; but the Governor may, upon the written application of that local authority, by warrant under his hand direct that any local authority in whose district part of such area has been merged or included shall pay annually to the first-mentioned local authority during the currency of the loan on such date as is specified, such amount as he considers a duly proportionate part of the interest and other charges payable in respect of the loan: And whereas parts of the areas over which the special loans of which particulars are given in the Schedule hereto were raised by the Taranaki County Council have been merged or included in the Borough of New Plymouth: And whereas it has been mutually agreed between the Taranaki County Council and the New Plymouth Borough Council that the amounts hereinbefore mentioned shall be paid annually by the said Borough Council to the said County Council as its duly proportionate parts of the interest and other charges in respect of the said loans: And whereas written application has been made by the Taranaki County Council to the Governor to direct accordingly.

Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred on me by section 73 of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, do hereby direct that the New Plymouth Borough Council shall in respect of the loans specified in the Schedule hereto pay annually to the Taranaki County Council, on the 1st day of February in each and every year during the currency of the said loans, the respective amounts set out in column “G” of the said Schedule as its duly proportionate parts of the interest and other charges payable in respect of the said loans.
