BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—
1 Short Title.
1946, No. 2
This Act may be cited as the Nassella Tussock Amendment Act, 1948, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Nassella Tussock Act, 1946 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).
2 Board may raise moneys for works to be carried out over period of years.
Section forty-two of the principal Act is hereby amended as follows:—
(a)
By omitting from subsection one the words “in any financial year”
, and substituting the words “at any time”
:
(b)
By adding to subsection three the following proviso:—
“Provided that where under this section the raising of a sum of money is authorized in respect of works that are not to be completed within one financial year the Board shall in each financial year determine what portion of the total sum so authorized to be raised is required by it for the said works in that year, and the portion so determined in any year shall be apportioned among the Councils in such proportions as aforesaid.”:
(c)
By inserting in subsection four, after the words “total sum authorized to be raised”
, the words “and the amount required by the Board in respect thereof in the year in which the apportionment is made”
.
3 Annual charges on loans raised by constituent Councils under section 42 of principal Act, or equivalent annual sums, to be charged to Board.
Section forty-two of the principal Act is hereby further amended by adding thereto the following new subsections:—

“(8)
Where any Council pays out of its general fund the whole or any part of any sum payable by it to the Board under this section, there shall be payable by the Board to the Council, in each financial year until the sum so paid is repaid, an amount approved by the Local Government Loans Board as equivalent to the amount which would have been payable by the Council by way of interest and other annual charges if the Council had raised a loan for the sum so paid by it to the Board.
“(9)
Every sum payable by the Board to any Council under subsection seven or subsection eight of this section shall be recoverable by the Council as a debt due to it from the Board, and shall be deemed for the purposes of section thirty-five of this Act to form part of the expenditure of the Board in the year in which the sum is payable.”
