Preparation of Valuation List, City of Wanganui.

[I.S.] CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS the system of rating on the unimproved value under the Rating Act, 1925 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), is at the present time in force in the City of Wanganui :

And whereas pursuant to section forty-four of the said Act a poll of the ratepayers of the City of Wanganui was taken upon the proposal that the adoption of the system of rating property on the basis of the unimproved value thereof be rescinded :

And whereas the said proposal was carried :

And whereas the system of rating on the annual value under the said Act comes into force in the said City of Wanganui as from the thirty-first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine :

And whereas in terms of the said Act where the system of rating on the annual value is in force in any district it is required that a valuation roll shall be made either annually or triennially at the option of the local authority, and that a valuation list as prescribed by the said Act shall, on or before the fifteenth day of January in every year where an annual valuation is made and in every third year when the valuation is triennial, be prepared, signed, and transmitted to the local authority :

And whereas in terms of section fifteen of the said Act it is provided that such valuation list shall be deposited at some convenient place to be publicly notified, and shall lie open for the inspection of all persons interested therein until the fifteenth day of February :

And whereas it has been found impossible to prepare the valuation list as provided by section eight of the said Act within the time prescribed by that section :

And whereas it is expedient that the time for preparing the said valuation list, the period for which the said valuation list shall be deposited and lie open for inspection, and the time within which objections to the said valuation list may be delivered be extended ;

Now, therefore, I, General Sir Charles Fergusson, Baronet, Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers in that behalf enabling me in the said Act, the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, and of all other powers in anywise enabling me in this behalf, do hereby proclaim and direct—

(a) That a valuation list of the City of Wanganui, setting forth the rateable value of all rateable property in the district and the names of the occupiers and owners thereof, and all other necessary particulars, as provided or required by section eight of the said Act, be prepared :

(b) That such valuation list shall be prepared on or before the twenty-eighth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine :

(c) That such valuation list shall, for the purposes of section fifteen of the said Act, be open for the inspection of all persons interested therein until the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine :

(d) That such valuation list may, for the purposes of section seventeen of the said Act, be inspected until the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine :

(e) That objections to the said valuation list shall be delivered on or before the twenty-eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine.

And I do hereby further proclaim and direct that the provisions of the said Act and the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, and the regulations thereunder respectively, relating to the valuation list and roll respectively, shall apply hereto, save and except as the same are hereinbefore respectively modified or altered.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, and issued under the Seal of that Dominion, this 13th day of December, 1928.

P. A. DE LA PERRELLE,
Minister of Internal Affairs.

GOD SAVE THE KING !
