WHEREAS by the Rotorua Town Act, 1907, provision
is made for the management of the Town of Rotorua
by the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts, and the
said Department is, in respect of the said town, created a
body corporate:

And whereas by section 5 of the said Act it is enacted
that for the purposes of any Act relating to local authori-
ties the said Department shall, in respect of the said town,
be deemed to be a local authority, and that the provisions
of any such Act shall (subject to such modifications or ex-
ceptions as the Governor by Order in Council directs) extend
and apply as if the said town were a borough :

And whereas by section 80 of the Hospitals and Chari-
table Institutions Act, 1909, and the Sixth Schedule thereto,
it is provided that the said Department shall be deemed to
be a contributory local authority of the Waikato Hospital
District, and that the said Department, for the purpose of
providing funds for the payment of contributions payable
to the Waikato Hospital and Charitable Aid Board, shall
have the same power of making, levying, and collecting rates
in the Town of Rotorua as if the town were a borough and
the Department were a Council thereof :

lency the Governor, in exercise of the powers conferred in
that behalf by the Rotorua Town Act, 1907, did by Order
in Council make certain regulations for the effectual
carrying-out of that Act, which regulations appear in the
New Zealand Gazette of the 16th day of April, 1908 :

And whereas by clause 3 of the said regulations it is pro-
vided that an order or direction in writing, signed by the
General Manager of the said Department, shall be sufficient
in all cases in which (amongst other things) a resolution or
special order of a Council is necessary in a borough :

Now, therefore, I, the undersigned, Benjamin Marcus Wilson,
the General Manager of the said Department, in exercise of
the powers given to local authorities by the Rating Act,
1908, and also in exercise of the powers and authorities
given by the Rotorua Town Act, 1907, and the said regula-
tions, do hereby order, direct, and declare that a rate of
one-ninth of a penny in the pound on the capital value of all
rateable property in the Town of Rotorua is hereby made
and levied for the year commencing on the 1st day of April,
1914, and ending on the 31st day of March, 1915, and that
