And whereas the Auckland Harbour Board is empowered under section three of the Auckland Harbour Board Loan and Empowering Act, 1919, to borrow the sum of one million pounds at such a rate of interest as will produce to the lender a return not exceeding five and a half per centum per annum, and the money has not been borrowed :

And whereas the Minister of Finance has given his precedent consent as required by the said section, and it is desired that the rate of interest at which the money may be borrowed be altered to five and a half per centum without any reference to the return to the lender :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby prescribe that the rate of interest that may be paid by the Auckland Harbour Board, and not the return to the lender, shall be five and a half per centum, and the Auckland Harbour Board is hereby authorized to borrow the sum of one million pounds at this rate.
