WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL.

RESOLUTION INCREASING SPECIAL RATE FOR THE MIRAMAR SEWERAGE EXTENSION LOAN.

WHEREAS the Miramar Borough Council in the year 1913 authorized the raising of the above loan of £3,000, and as security for interest and sinking fund of the said loan, by special order of the said Council passed on the 14th day of August, 1913, and gazetted in the New Zealand Gazette of 21st August, 1913, at page 2670, made and levied a special rate of one-twelfth of a penny in the pound on the rateable value (on the basis of the unimproved value) of all the rateable property in the Borough of Miramar:

And whereas on the first day of February, 1921, the City of Wellington and the Borough of Miramar, by virtue of the Proclamation gazetted in the New Zealand Gazette of December 22, 1920, at page 3349, became constituted one united borough or city under the style or title of the City of Wellington:

And whereas the said special rate of one-twelfth of a penny in the pound is not sufficient to meet the charges in respect of the said loan:

Now, therefore, the Wellington City Council, in exercise of the powers vested in it by the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, and the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and their respective amendments, hereby resolve to increase the said rate to a rate of one-tenth of a penny in the pound on the rateable value (on the basis of the unimproved value) of all rateable property in that portion of the City of Wellington that was on the 31st day of January, 1921, comprised in the Borough of Miramar, being the amount of increased rate necessary so that the annual produce of such rate shall suffice to provide the payment of interest and sinking fund on account of the said loan.

Dated this 25th day of January, 1923.
