IN pursuance and in exercise of the powers vested in it

Ashburton County Council hereby resolves as follows:—

“ That, for the purpose of providing the half-yearly in-

in respect of a loan of £8,000 over the Methven Drainage

tion 23 of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, hereby in-
creases to thirteen-sixteenths of a penny in the pound the
special rate of eleven-sixteenths of a penny in the pound

on page 1741 of the New Zealand Gazette, of 29th July, 1937,

of interest and repayment of principal of such loan, and
