WHEREAS by section 43 (a) of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), it is enacted that the Minister of Lands may from time to time make and levy an annually recurring special rate on lands in any drainage area of an amount sufficient for the repayment within a period of fifty years of so much of the moneys raised pursuant to section 4 of the Swamp Drainage Act, 1915, as has been expended on that drainage area: Provided that the Minister of Lands may, if necessary, from time to time amend such annually recurring rate by increasing or diminishing so that the annual produce thereof shall suffice to provide for the payment of the moneys and interest referred to in section 2 of the Swamp Drainage Amendment Act, 1928:

And whereas it is expedient that the annually recurring rate made and levied on the 18th day of December, 1930, on the unimproved value of all lands in the Rural Subdivision of the Kaitaia Drainage Area shall be increased:

Now, therefore, in pursuance of the powers vested in me in that behalf by section 43 of the Finance Act, 1930 (No. 2), and all other powers enabling me in that behalf, I, Frank Langstone, Minister of Lands, do hereby amend such annually recurring rate made and levied on the 18th day of December, 1930, on the unimproved value of all lands in the Rural Subdivision of the Kaitaia Drainage Area by increasing such rate to the amount set out in the Schedule hereto, commencing for the financial year ending on the 31st day of March, 1938:

And I declare that the amended annually recurring special rate may be levied year by year without further proceeding by the Minister until the moneys in respect of which it is made are paid off, and shall, in respect of the financial year ending on the 31st day of March, 1938, be payable on the 15th day of February, 1938, and shall in respect of every future year be payable on the 30th day of August in such year:

And I further declare that the said amended rate shall be payable at the office of the Collector of Rates, Chief Drainage Engineer’s Office, Room 45, Government Buildings, Customs Street West, Auckland.
