An Act to extend the Powers of Rating vested in the Makerua Drainage Board.

Preamble.

WHEREAS the Makerua Drainage Board (hereinafter called the Board) is a Board constituted under the Land Drainage Act, 1908: And whereas the Board by section thirty-one of that Act is entitled to levy a rate not exceeding six farthings in the pound on the rateable value of all lands within the district of the Board: And whereas owing to a reduction in the unimproved value of all lands within the district of the Board it has been found that the aforesaid power to rate is insufficient to enable the Board to meet its ordinary expenditure:

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.

This Act may be cited as the Makerua Drainage Board Empowering Act, 1942.

2 Increasing Board’s rating-power.

(1)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in section thirty-one of the Land Drainage Act, 1908, the Board may, for the purposes of that Act, levy a rate exceeding six farthings but not exceeding twopence in the pound.

(2)

The provisions of section twelve of the Land Drainage Amendment Act, 1922, shall apply in relation to rates levied pursuant to the authority conferred by this section to the same extent as it applies in relation to rates levied pursuant to the authority conferred by section thirty-one of the Land Drainage Act, 1908.
