	Schedule Properties Purchased under “The Municipal Corporations Waterworks Act, 1872.”

An Act to vest in the Corporation of the City of Auckland, as ordinary Reserves, the Surplus of certain Lands acquired by the said Corporation for Water Supply purposes.

Preamble.

WHEREAS the Corporation of the City of Auckland, in recently acquiring lands for the purpose of establishing a water supply for the said city, were obliged to purchase a larger area of land than is actually required at the present time for the purposes of the said water supply: And whereas it is doubtful whether, under the existing law, the said Corporation can retain the area of such land in excess of that which is at present actually required for the purposes of the said water supply: And whereas it is desirable that the said Corporation should be entitled to retain such lands, and to deal with and dispose of the same in the manner hereinafter provided:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act shall be “The Auckland City Endowments and Reserves Act, 1877.”

2 Lands in Schedule vested in Corporation as if originally vested under “The Auckland City Endowments and Reserves Act, 1875.”.

The lands mentioned and specified in the Schedule hereto may be held and retained by the said Corporation in the same manner as if the same had been vested in the said Corporation under and by virtue of the provisions of “The Auckland City Endowments and Reserves Act, 1875;” and the Mayor, Councillors, and Citizens of the Borough of the said City of Auckland shall have all the powers in respect of the lands comprised in the said Schedule as they now by law possess in respect of the lands mentioned in the First Schedule of the said “Auckland City Endowments and Reserves Act, 1875.”

3 Agreements for leases made by the Corporation validated.

All contracts and agreements heretofore entered into by the said Corporation, for the granting of leases of parts of the said land in the said First Schedule, shall be deemed and taken to be, and to have been, as valid and binding as if the said lands had been originally comprised in the said First Schedule of the said “Auckland City Endowments and Reserves Act, 1875,” notwithstanding that such contracts or agreements for leases may have been entered into without the lands comprised in such contracts and agreements having been put up to public auction.

4 Rents and profits to be ordinary revenue.

All moneys to arise from the leasing of any of the said lands shall be deemed and taken to be part of the ordinary revenue of the said borough, in the same manner as if such moneys formed part of the annual general rate thereof.
