And whereas the said local authority proposes, in exercise of such option, to redeem on the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and forty-seven, certain of such securities amounting in the aggregate to the sum of thirteen thousand three hundred pounds (£13,300), the date specified in such securities for the redemption thereof being the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-one, and the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-two:

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 thirteen thousand three hundred pounds (£13,300), 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 five (5) years.
