WHEREAS it is provided by section nine of the Local Authorities Interest

of existing securities by a local authority, may make such provisions as he
thinks fit with respect to all or any of the matters specified in the said section,
and that, subject to the provisions of the said Act, every Order in Council under
the said section shall have the force of law as if enacted in the said Act, anything
to the contrary in any other Act or in any regulations made under the said Act
or any other Act notwithstanding:
And whereas the Matamata Borough Council (being a local authority within
the meaning of the said Act) has issued securities in respect of the loans

And whereas the said local authority, being desirous of issuing new securities
