And whereas the said local authority proposes, in exercise of such option, to redeem on the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and forty-six, certain of such securities amounting in the aggregate to the sum of fifty-four thousand seven hundred and forty pounds (£54,740), the dates specified in such securities for the redemption thereof being the first day of October in each year from the year one thousand nine hundred and forty-six to the year one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five (both years inclusive):

And whereas the said local authority, being desirous, for the purpose of giving effect to such proposal, of raising a loan of fifty-four thousand seven hundred and forty pounds (£54,740), to be known as “Conversion Loan No. I Redemption Loan, 1946” (hereinafter called “the said loan”), has complied with the provisions of the Local Government Loans Board Act, 1926, and it is expedient that the precedent consent of the Governor-General in Council, as required by such Act, should be given to the raising of the said loan:

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 consent to the raising in New Zealand by the said local authority of the said loan for the said purpose up to the amount of fifty-four thousand seven hundred and forty pounds (£54,740), and in giving such consent doth hereby determine as follows:—

(1) The term for which the said loan or any part thereof may be raised shall not exceed nine and one-half (9½) years.

SCHEDULE

(4) It shall not be necessary to establish a separate sinking fund for the said loan of fifty-four thousand seven hundred and forty pounds (£54,740), and the proviso to subsection three of section thirty-two of the Finance Act, 1938 (as set out in subsection two of section twenty-nine of the Finance Act, 1941), shall apply, and accordingly the provisions of subclause two of clause twenty of the Feilding Borough Loans Conversion Order, 1934, No. 1, shall be construed as if the debentures amounting to fifty-four thousand seven hundred and forty pounds (£54,740) redeemed on the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and forty-six, had not been redeemed as at that date, but had been redeemed on the several dates specified in clause three hereof.

(5) The payment of interest and instalments of principal in respect of the said loan shall be made in New Zealand, and no amount payable as interest or principal shall be paid out of loan-moneys.

(6) The amount payable for brokerage, underwriting, and procurement fees in respect of the raising of the said loan or any part thereof shall not in the aggregate exceed one-quarter per centum of any amount raised.
