RIGHT HON. J. G. COATES PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council made on the sixth day
of January, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-
three, and subject to the determinations therein set out,
consent was given to the raising by the Te Kuiti Borough
Council (hereinafter called “the said local authority”) of
the sum of ten thousand six hundred and seventy-five pounds
(£10,675) by a loan to be known as “Antecedent Liability
Redemption Loan, 1933”:

And whereas one of the determinations aforesaid was that
the rate of interest at which the said loan may be raised
should not exceed five pounds five shillings (£5 5s.) per
centum per annum:

And whereas by reason of section six of the Local Authorities
Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Act, 1932–33, it is
not now lawful for the said local authority to borrow the said
loan at a rate of interest in excess of four pounds five shillings
(£4 5s.) per centum per annum:

And whereas it is expedient that the said local authority
may be authorized to raise the said loan at a rate of interest
not exceeding four pounds ten shillings (£4 10s.) per centum
per annum:

And whereas by section eleven of the Local Government
Loans Board Act, 1926, as set out in section twenty-nine of
the Finance Act, 1932 (No. 2), (hereinafter called “the
said section”), the Governor-General in Council may vary or
modify, in such manner and to such extent as he thinks fit,
any such determination aforesaid:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General,
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and
authorities conferred on him by the said section, and of all
other powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth
hereby vary the determination in respect of the rate of interest
at which the said loan may be raised by prescribing that the
said loan may be raised at a rate of interest not exceeding
four pounds ten shillings (£4 10s.) per centum per annum.

RIGHT HON. J. G. COATES PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS Thomas Houghton Stephenson, of Wellington,
is exclusively engaged as General Secretary of the
Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association:

And whereas, prior to being engaged as aforesaid, the said
Thomas Houghton Stephenson was in the service of the
New Zealand Government Railways Department, and in
respect of such service was a contributor to the Government
Railways Superannuation Fund:

And whereas the period of engagement of the said Thomas
Houghton Stephenson as General Secretary of the said
association has been continuous with his aforementioned
period of service in the Government Railways Department:

And whereas the rate of contribution paid by the said
Thomas Houghton Stephenson to the Government Railways
Superannuation Fund when a contributor thereto in respect
of his aforesaid period of service in the Department was
five per centum of the salary or wage then received by him:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of
the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of
the power and authority conferred on him by section one
hundred and eighteen of the Government Railways Act, 1926,
and of every other power and authority enabling him in that
behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the
Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby declare
and order that from and including the twenty-seventh day of
April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-three, the said
Thomas Houghton Stephenson shall have and be deemed to
have had all the rights, privileges, and liabilities to which a
contributor to the Government Railways Superannuation
Fund is entitled or subject under the provisions of Part III
of the Government Railways Act, 1926, subject, however, to
the provisions of the said section one hundred and eighteen
of the said Act and to the following express conditions,
namely:

(1) The contribution of the said Thomas Houghton Stephenson
to the Government Railways Superannuation
Fund shall be at the rate of five per centum of the
salary paid to him by the Engine-drivers, Firemen,
and Cleaners' Association; and such contribution
shall, as from and including the twenty-seventh day
of April, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-
three, be paid to that fund at such time or times
and by such instalments as the Government Rail-
ways Board may determine:

(2) In addition to the contribution payable by the said
Thomas Houghton Stephenson, as specified in the
last preceding paragraph hereof, there shall be paid
to the fund by the Engine-drivers, Firemen, and
Cleaners’ Association, at such times and in such
manner (whether by instalments or otherwise) as
may be determined by the Government Railways
Board, a sum which in each year shall bear the
same proportion to the total amount payable by the
said Thomas Houghton Stephenson by way of contri-
bution to the fund in respect of such year as the
total sum paid by the New Zealand Government
Railways Department to the fund by way of subsidy
bears to the aggregate of the sums paid into the fund
by contributors under the Government Railways Act,
1926, in such year:

And with the like advice and consent, and in further
pursuance of the said powers and authorities, His Excellency
the Governor-General of the said Dominion doth hereby
declare that in accordance with and subject to the provisions
of subsection six of section one hundred and eighteen of the
Government Railways Act, 1926, this Order in Council shall
be subject to revocation, alteration, or amendment at any
time; and, without prejudice to the generality of the provisions
of this paragraph, His Excellency the Governor-General, with
the advice and consent aforesaid, doth hereby declare in
particular that this Order in Council shall be deemed to be
revoked in either of the events following, namely:

(1) If the members of the Engine-drivers, Firemen, and
Cleaners' Association shall cease work on strike:

(2) If the said Thomas Houghton Stephenson shall be guilty
of misconduct which if he had been a member of the
Department would, in the opinion of the Government
Railways Board, have justified his dismissal from the
service.
