ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 3rd day of December, 1934.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council made on the eighteenth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, consent was given to the raising by the Waitomo Electric-power Board (hereinafter called “the said local authority”) of the sum of twenty thousand pounds (£20,000) by a loan to be known as “House-wiring and Trading Loan, 1926” (hereinafter called “the said loan”), for the purchase and installation of electric and other equipment for consumers:

And whereas by section nine of the Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Amendment Act, 1934, the consent given by the said Order in Council was revoked in so far as the authority conferred thereby had not been exercised, and it is not now lawful or competent for the said local authority to borrow any moneys to which such consent relates except in accordance with the provisions of an Order in Council under section eleven of the Local Government Loans Board Act, 1926:

And whereas it is expedient to authorize the said local authority to borrow on the conditions hereinafter mentioned the sum of two thousand five hundred pounds (£2,500) (hereinafter called “the said sum”), being part of the moneys to which the said consent relates:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on him by section eleven of the Local Government Loans Board Act, 1926, and by section nine of the Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Amendment Act, 1934, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby consent to the borrowing by the said local authority of the said sum or any part thereof for the purpose for which the said loan was authorized, and in giving such consent doth hereby determine as follows:—

(1) The term for which the said sum or any part thereof may be raised shall be twenty (20) years.

(2) The rate of interest that may be paid in respect of the said sum or any part thereof shall be such as shall not produce to the lender, or lenders a rate exceeding three pounds ten shillings (£3 10s.) per centum per annum.

(3) The said sum or any part thereof together with interest thereon shall be repaid by equal annual or half-yearly instalments extending over the term as determined in (1) above.

(4) The payment of such instalments shall be made in New Zealand, and no such instalment shall be paid out of loan-money.

(5) The rate payable for brokerage, underwriting, and procurement fees in respect of the borrowing of the said sum or any part thereof shall not in the aggregate exceed one-half per centum of any amount raised.

(6) No moneys shall be borrowed under this consent after the expiration of two years from the date hereof.
