HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section ninety-one of the Public Revenues Act, 1910, it is enacted that it shall be lawful to invest any part of the balance of the Public Trust Office Account in any securities which shall be declared by the Governor-General by Order in Council to be securities in which such balance may be invested:

And whereas the Hamilton Fire Board (hereinafter called “the said Board”), constituted under the provisions of the Fire Brigades Act, 1908, and its amendments, has applied to the Public Trustee to advance to the said Board the sum of eight hundred pounds upon the security hereinafter mentioned:

And whereas the Public Trustee is desirous of lending to the said Board out of the balance of the said Public Trust Office Funds the said sum of eight hundred pounds, repayment whereof is intended to be secured by a mortgage from the said Board to the Public Trustee of part Allotment 271 of the Town of Hamilton West, and by the issue of one debenture, repayment whereof is charged on the income of the said Board, together with a covenant by the said Board that the interest and sinking fund shall be included in the estimate of the said Board’s expenditure under section thirty of the Fire Brigades Act, 1908 (such proposed security being hereinafter referred to as “the said security”):

And whereas before the said sum of eight hundred pounds can be advanced out of the balance of the Public Trust Office Account it is necessary that an Order in Council should issue, pursuant to the statutory provisions hereinbefore recited, declaring the said security to be one upon which such sum may be invested:

And whereas it is proper that such Order in Council should issue:

Now, therefore, I, Arthur William de Brito Savile, Earl of Liverpool, the Governor-General in and for the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, do hereby declare that it shall be lawful for the Public Trustee to invest out of the balance of the Public Trust Office Account the said sum of eight hundred pounds on the said security.
