WHEREAS by and under “The Gold Mining Claims Drainage Act, 1868,” power is given to every Mining Drainage Board constituted thereunder, to make bye-laws for the district for which it shall have been appointed, and to revoke alter, and amend the same: And whereas, by and under a certain bye-law of the said Mining Drainage Board numbered 18, it is enacted “that an equal rate of eight-pence (8d.) shall be levied upon all rateable areas within Drainage Area No. 1, payment of such rate to be due and payable to the Clerk of the said Board, at his office, Revner Street, Ross, on Friday, the 23rd day of September, 1870, and that such payments shall continue to be made each Friday until otherwise ordered by the said Drainage Board.”

And whereas, by and under a certain bye-law of the said Mining Drainage Board numbered 21, the said weekly rate of eightpence imposed under the said Bye-Law No. 18, was altered to ninepence:

Be it therefore ordered and enacted by the said Mining Drainage Board as follows, that is to say:—That an equal weekly rate of elevenpence shall be levied upon all alluvial gold mining claims within Drainage Area No. 1, of the said drainage district, in lieu of the said equal weekly rate of ninepence imposed upon the said claims in the said area, under and by virtue of the aforesaid Bye-Law No. 21, and that such weekly rate of elevenpence shall be paid to the person, and at the time and place specified and mentioned in the aforesaid Bye-Law No. 18; and shall in all other respects be subject to the provisions of the aforesaid Bye-Law No. 18: and that this bye-law shall be deemed to be incorporated with, and form part of the aforesaid Bye-Laws Nos. 18 and 21, and shall together with them be construed as one bye-law.
