Providing for Building Regulations in certain Boroughs.

[L.S.] BLEDISLOE, Governor-General.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS by section three hundred and eighty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, it is enacted that the Governor-General may make all such Proclamations and regulations as he thinks fit for the further or more effectively or particularly carrying out of the objects and purposes of the said Act :

And whereas it is expedient that special provision be made for controlling building operations in the boroughs specified in the First Schedule hereto :

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred upon me by the said section three hundred and eighty-two, I, Charles, Baron Bledisloe, the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby proclaim that on and from the publication of this Proclamation in the Gazette the regulations set out in the Second Schedule hereto shall be in force in the respective boroughs specified in the said First Schedule hereto notwithstanding any by-law to the contrary heretofore in force.

FIRST SCHEDULE.

The Borough of Dannevirke.
The Borough of Woodville.
The Borough of Pahiatua.
The Borough of Ekatahuna.

SECOND SCHEDULE.

No person shall erect or re-erect or recondition any building, or make any structural alteration or addition to any building heretofore or hereafter erected, or remove any building from one place to another within the borough or from a place outside the borough to any place within the borough, without first obtaining a building permit from the Borough Council concerned.

No person shall cause or permit any building to be so erected, re-erected, reconditioned, altered, or removed if a building permit in that behalf has not first been obtained from the Council.

The Councils and the examining officers thereof will be guided in their decisions by the lessons learned from recent earthquakes and the accepted principles of design and construction to resist earthquake shocks.

The guiding principles in the design and construction of buildings to resist earthquake shocks are set out by the Building Regulations Committee in its report dated the 23rd day of June, 1931 (recorded in parliamentary paper H.—21, 1931), and must take precedence over existing by-laws of the Council concerned.

Given under the hand of His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, and issued under the Seal of that Dominion, this 23rd day of March, 1934.

THE Marine Department acts as sub-agent for the Admiralty Chart Agent, Mr. J. D. Potter, London, and maintains a stock of New Zealand charts at Auckland, Gisborne, Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin, Bluff, and Westport Mercantile Marine Offices, also a stock of foreign charts at Auckland, and at Headquarters, Wellington.

Purchasers, when applying for charts, are requested to inspect this list and to obtain copies of any notice which may affect the chart required. In some instances copies of Admiralty and Australian notices may only be available for inspection.

All corrections made to charts after their receipt from J. D. Potter are shown in red, and the number of the notice entered on the chart in the usual manner, New Zealand notices being qualified by the addition of N.Z.
