BAY OF ISLANDS ELECTRIC-POWER BOARD.

RESOLUTION AMENDING SPECIAL RATE.

Special Loan (1938), £200,000.

WHEREAS on the 27th day of May, 1938, a resolution was duly passed by the Bay of Islands Electric-power Board making a special rate of twopence three farthings in the pound upon the rateable value (on the basis of the unimproved value) of all rateable property of the Bay of Islands Electric-power District for the purpose of providing the interest and other charges on a loan of two hundred thousand pounds (£200,000) authorized to be raised by the Bay of Islands Electric-power Board for the supply and distribution of electric power to the Bay of Islands Electric-power District and for the construction of all works incidental thereto, and in respect of which works, guarantees as described in clauses 21–43 of the Electric Supply Regulations, 1935, have first been given in favour of the Power Board for payments amounting in each of not less than five consecutive

years from the completion of such works to at least fourteen per cent. of the estimated capital cost of such works; and providing funds for the purposes mentioned in section 118 of the Electric-power Boards Act, 1925—namely, making advances to consumers; and whereas it has been ascertained that the said special rate of twopence three farthings in the pound will not be sufficient to meet such interest and other charges:

Now, therefore, the Bay of Islands Electric-power Board, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on the Board by section 23 of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, hereby resolves that the said special rate of twopence three farthings in the pound shall be and is hereby amended by increasing such amount of twopence three farthings in the pound to threepence and one-eighth of a penny in the pound.

Dated this 8th day of November, 1939.
