WHEREAS by section 2 of the Swamp Drainage Amendment Act, 1928, as amended by 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 not exceeding 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 the amount of moneys raised pursuant to section 4 of the Swamp Drainage Act, 1915, that has been expended on the Poukawa Drainage Area is the sum of £21,550:

And whereas the Minister of Finance has determined that such rate of interest shall be the rate of 5 per centum per annum:

Now, therefore, in pursuance of the powers vested in me in that behalf by the Swamp Drainage Amendment Act, 1928, and all other powers enabling me in this behalf, I, Ethelbert Alfred Ransom, Minister of Lands, do hereby make and levy on the unimproved value of all land within the Poukawa Drainage Area special rates 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 set out in the 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 are paid off, and shall in respect of the financial year ending on the 31st day of March, 1933, be payable on the 30th day of March, 1933, and shall in respect of every future financial year be payable on the 30th day of August in such year:

And I direct that the said special rates shall be payable at the office of the Collector of Rates, Lands and Survey Department, Post-office Buildings, Napier.
