of the said Act, after compliance with the provisions of Part II of the Act,
and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of such Order in Council, any

which the said Act applies :

And whereas by the said section thirteen it is further provided that the Governor-
General, by the Order in Council giving his consent to the conversion 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 it is provided by section twenty of the Finance Act (No. 2), 1935,
that, notwithstanding the limitation of time prescribed by section fifteen of the said

And whereas the said local authority, being desirous, with the consent of the holder
of such securities, of issuing new securities in conversion thereof, has complied with the
