Authorizing the Laying-off of a Road of less Width than 66 ft.

WHEREAS, in the opinion of the Minister of Lands, it is inexpedient, by reason of the fact that the land shown upon the plan of Town of Belmont Extension No. 17, affecting part Sections 51 and 54, Hutt Registration District, in Block IX, Belmont Survey District, is intended to be used wholly for residential purposes, that the proposed street shown therein should be of the width of 66 ft.

Now, therefore, I, Ethelbert Alfred Ransom, Minister of Lands, do hereby, in pursuance of the power conferred upon me by section 17, subsection (1), of the Land Act, 1924, and of every other power me thereunto enabling, authorize the lay-off of such road of a width of not less than 40 ft.: Provided always that it shall not be lawful for any person to erect or cause to be erected any building at a less distance than 33 ft. from the middle of such road.

Given under my hand, this 15th day of December, 1930.

E. A. RANSOM, Minister of Lands.

Making and Levying Special Rates under the Swamp Drainage Act, 1915, and its Amendments: Kaitaia Drainage Area.

WHEREAS by section 43 (a) of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), it is enacted that the Minister of Lands may from time to time make and levy a special rate on lands in any drainage area of an amount sufficient for the repayment within a period of fifty years of so much of the moneys raised pursuant to section 4 of the Swamp Drainage Act, 1915, as has been expended on that drainage area, together with interest thereon at such rate as the Minister of Finance determines:

And whereas by sections 44 (1) and 45 (1) of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), it is enacted that the capital expenditure chargeable against certain subdivisions of the Kaitaia Drainage Area constituted under the principal Act shall, as from the 1st day of April, 1930, be the sum of eight thousand two hundred pounds (£8,200) against the Kaitaia Town District Subdivision of the Kaitaia Drainage Area (hereinafter called the Town Subdivision), and the sum of sixty thousand pounds (£60,000) against the subdivision therein called the Kaitaia Rural Subdivision of the Kaitaia Drainage Area (hereinafter called the Rural Subdivision):

And whereas by virtue of section 5 of the Swamp Drainage Amendment Act, 1926, any such special rate is to be made and levied separately for each subdivision as if it were a separate drainage area:

And whereas the Minister of Finance has determined that the rate of interest for the purposes of the said section 43 shall be five per centum per annum:

And whereas it is expedient that such special rates as aforesaid be made and levied sufficient to produce annual sums representing 5½ per centum per annum of the respective capital sums aforesaid (being £8,200 for the Town Subdivision and £60,000 for the Rural Subdivision):

And whereas the said 5½ per centum per annum is made up of annual charges of 5 per centum per annum for interest at the rate aforesaid and ½ per centum per annum for the repayment in a period of fifty years of the respective capital sums aforesaid:

Now, therefore, in pursuance of the powers vested in me in that behalf by section 43 of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), and all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, Ethelbert Alfred Ransom, Minister of Lands, do hereby make and levy a special rate on the unimproved value of all land within the Town Subdivision as set out in the First Schedule hereto:

And in further pursuance of the powers aforesaid, I do hereby likewise make and levy a special rate on the unimproved value of all land within the Rural Subdivision on a graduated scale according to the classification of such land made in accordance with section 3 of the Swamp Drainage Amendment Act, 1928, being the graduated scale as set out in the Second Schedule hereto:

And I declare that the foregoing special rates shall be annually recurring rates, and may be levied year by year without further proceeding by the Minister until the moneys in respect of which they were made (being the respective sums hereinbefore referred to) are paid off, and shall, in respect of the financial year ending on the 31st day of March, 1931, be payable on the 22nd day of December, 1930, and shall in respect to every future financial year be payable on the 30th day of August in such year:

And I further declare that the said respective special rates shall be payable at the office of the Collector of Rates, Chief Drainage Engineer’s Office, 5 Law Court Buildings, High Street, Auckland.
