thing to the contrary in any Act or in any rule of law, where
a local authority or public body has been authorized before
the passing of the said Act, or is thereafter authorized, to
borrow money, whether pursuant to a poll of ratepayers or
otherwise howsoever, whether the rate of interest or the term
of years of the loan was or was not specified or determined,
and such money or any part thereof has not been borrowed,
the local authority may, with the precedent consent of the
Minister of Finance, borrow such money, or such amount
thereof as has not been borrowed, at such rate of interest, or
for such term not less than ten years, as may be prescribed
by the Governor-General by Order in Council:
And whereas the Wellington City Council has been
authorized to borrow the sum of eighty-nine thousand pounds
for the renewal of a street-widening loan at five and a quarter
per centum per annum, and is now desirous of borrowing
eight thousand five hundred pounds, being the balance of the
eighty-nine thousand pounds, at an increased rate of interest:
And whereas the Minister of Finance has given his precedent
consent as required by the above-recited section eleven, and
it is desired that the rate of interest at which the said eight
thousand five hundred pounds may be borrowed be increased
to not exceeding six and a half per centum per annum:
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,
doeth hereby prescribe that the rate of interest that may be
paid by the Wellington City Council in respect of the said
eight thousand five hundred pounds shall be a rate not
exceeding six and a half per centum, and the said Wellington
City Council is hereby authorized to borrow the said sum of
eight thousand five hundred pounds accordingly.
