And whereas the authority conferred by the said Order in Council has not been exercised to the extent of sixteen thousand five hundred pounds (£16,500) (hereinafter called “the said sum”) and it is expedient to vary certain of the determinations aforesaid in respect of the said sum:

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, as set out in section twenty-nine of the Finance Act, 1932 (No. 2), and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby vary certain of the determinations aforesaid in respect of the said sum by prescribing as follows:—

(a) By twenty equal payments of five hundred and seventy-seven pounds and ninepence (£577 0s. 9d.), one of such payments to be made at the end of every half-year commencing from the date on which the said sum is borrowed. Each such half-yearly payment shall be applied firstly in payment of interest computed at the rate of three pounds ten shillings (£3 10s.) per centum per annum on the amount of the principal for the time being outstanding at the beginning of each such half-year, and the balance of such half-yearly payment in reduction of principal.

(b) By a payment at the end of the tenth year from the date of the borrowing of the said sum of a sum equal to the amount to which the said principal has been reduced in accordance with the preceding paragraph (a) hereof after payment of the aforesaid twenty (20) half-yearly payments.
