That, for the purpose of providing for the payment of
interest, sinking fund, and other charges on a loan of £17,000,
authorized to be raised by the Lower Hutt Borough Council
under the above-mentioned Act and for the purpose of paying
off a loan of £20,300, known as "The Lower Hutt Borough
Council Consolidated Loan, 1910, of £20,300," which fell
due on the 1st day of October, 1929, the said Council, in
pursuance of section 23 of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1926,
hereby increases to 148/675ths of a penny in the pound
sterling the special rate of 140/675ths of a penny in the

during the currency of the said loan, and be payable half-
yearly on the first days of the months of April and October
in each and every year during the currency of such loan,
being a period not exceeding thirty years, or until the loan
is fully paid off.
