other Charges in respect of certain Loans originally raised

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

WHEREAS by section seventy-three of the Local Bodies'
Loans Act, 1913, it is, inter alia, provided that where
part only of an area over which a special rate is made as
security for a loan is merged or included within the district
of a local authority other than the local authority that made
the rate, then the whole of the liability in respect of the loan
shall continue to be a liability of the local authority that
raised the loan, but the Governor-General may, upon the
written application of that local authority, by Warrant under
his hand, direct that any local authority in whose district
part of such area has been merged shall pay annually to
the first-mentioned local authority during the currency of
the loan, on such date as is specified, such amount as he
considers a duly proportionate part of the interest and other
charges in respect of the loan:

And whereas a part of the area over which the special loans
of two thousand five hundred pounds (for metalling roads)
and two hundred and fifty pounds (for completing the
metalling of roads) were raised in the years one thousand
nine hundred and eighteen and one thousand nine hundred
and twenty-one by the late Kakepuku Road Board, which is
now merged into the Waipa County Council, has been merged
or included in the County of Otorohanga:

And whereas it has been mutually agreed between the
Waipa County Council and the Otorohanga County Council
that the amounts of six pounds nine shillings and tenpence,
and twelve shillings and elevenpence be paid annually by
the Otorohanga County Council to the Waipa County Council
as its proportionate part of the interest and other charges
payable in respect of the loans:

And whereas written application has been made by the
Waipa County Council to direct accordingly:

Now, therefore, I, General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet,
Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in
pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred
on me by section seventy-three of the Local Bodies' Loans
Act, 1913, do hereby direct that the Otorohanga County
Council shall in respect of the loans above-mentioned pay
annually to the Otorohanga County Council on the thirtieth
day of June in each and every year during the currency of
the said loans the above-mentioned amounts of six pounds
nine shillings and tenpence, and twelve shillings and eleven-
pence, as its duly proportionate parts of the interest and other
charges payable in respect of the said loans.
