L I V E R P O O L , G o v e r n o r .

WHEREAS by section two of the War Contributions Validation Act, 1914 (No. 2), (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), it is enacted as follows:—

Contributions, whether in money or kind, may be made by any local authority or body of persons, whether corporate or unincorporate, other than private trustees under a settlement or will, —

(a.) For the relief of distress occasioned by the war in which His Majesty is at present engaged, whether such distress exists in New Zealand or elsewhere in the British Dominions, or in any country allied to His Majesty;

(b.) For any patriotic objects approved for the purposes of this Act by the Governor:

Provided that every such contribution is paid either—

(i.) Into a public fund established by the Government, or by any local authority, for the purposes of such relief of distress, or patriotic objects; or

(ii.) Into a fund established by persons other than the Government or a local authority, where such fund and the conditions of control and expenditure thereof are approved for the purposes of this Act by the Governor:

And whereas certain persons in the Provincial District of Hawke’s Bay have formed themselves into an association known as the Hawke’s Bay War Relief Association for the following purposes, namely:—

(a.) To deposit all or any of the moneys in the hands of the association with any bank or local body in New Zealand, and to invest all or any of such moneys either on short-dated or other investments and securities as may from time to time be determined by the Executive:

(b.) To relieve and benefit wounded, incapacitated, necessitous, or deserving soldiers and sailors, nurses, and other auxiliaries, and those in any way dependent upon them, or those dependent upon deceased soldiers and sailors and auxiliaries (the expression “soldiers, sailors, and auxiliaries” to include those who are or in any way have been (1) members of New Zealand military or naval forces; (2) members of any New Zealand ambulance, auxiliary, or cognate service; (3) New-Zealanders by birth, domicile, or adoption, members of His Majesty’s army, navy, or ambulance, auxiliary, or cognate service in any part of the world); and to grant to them such sums of money as may from time to time be necessary to ensure their comfort and well-being, whether within or without the Dominion, which grant may be made as a gift in one sum or payable by such instalments as may be arranged with the donee, or by loan with or without security, or partly by gift and partly by loan;

(c.) To do all such acts as may tend to ameliorate the lot and promote the welfare of those whom the fund is designed to assist:

(d.) To co-operate with the proposed National War Relief Association and with the National War Funds Council:

(e.) To co-operate with the Government of New Zealand with a view to assisting returned soldiers to go upon the land, or to take up any other occupation:

(f.) To contribute to the funds of other districts in New Zealand whose funds may be depleted or in the opinion of the Executive insufficient for the requirements of its district:

(g.) To subsidize or contribute to the funds of any hospital, convalescent home, or other charitable institution in which any wounded soldier or sailor may be maintained:

(h.) To from time to time contribute such sum as in the opinion of the Executive shall represent the fair and reasonable quota from the districts represented by the branch societies’ members of the association, or such other sum as the Executive shall think desirable, for Belgian or Serbian relief, the Red Cross Society, or such other society or association or purposes connected with the present war as shall be determined by the Executive to have a proper claim upon the sympathy and support of the people of the Hawke’s Bay Provincial District and the County of Wairoa:

(i.) To receive and forward to the proper authority any donation or donations specially allocated by any subscriber or subscribers for any fund arising out of the war, within or without the Dominion of New Zealand:

(j.) To raise or promote the raising of such moneys as may be necessary for any of the above purposes:

And whereas the said association has established a fund for the promotion of the objects hereinbefore expressed, and has submitted the said fund and the conditions of control and the expenditure thereof for approval, as required by the hereinbefore-quoted provisions of the said Act:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby approve for the purposes of the said Act—

(1.) The fund hereinbefore referred to, established by the Hawke’s Bay War Relief Association; and

(2.) The conditions of control and expenditure of the said fund, as set out in the rules adopted by the said association on the tenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen.
