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

Now, therefore, I, Charles, Baron Bledisloe, Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred on me by section seventy-eight of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, do hereby direct that the Otamatea County Council shall in respect of the loan above mentioned pay annually to the Rodney County Council on the first day of September in each and every year during the currency of the said loan, the above-mentioned amount of one pound nine shillings and fourpence as its duly proportionate part of the interest and other charges payable in respect of the said loan.
