Preamble.
WHEREAS pursuant to the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901, and its amendments, and of all other powers and authorities enabling it in that behalf, the Wellington City Council, being thereto authorised by a poll of the ratepayers of the city taken on the twelfth day of April, nineteen hundred and five, the result whereof was advertised in the Gazette of the first day of June, nineteen hundred and five, did borrow the sum of two hundred and thirty-five thousand pounds, one hundred and ninety thousand pounds of which sum was allocated to the following purposes:—Water-supply: Construction of a new storage reservoir at Wainuiomata, with concrete dam and all necessary contingent works; the extension of the existing thirty-inch main from existing dam to the proposed new reservoir; additional reservoir at Karori, and all works necessarily contingent thereupon; the supply of a “Venturi”
meter on Karori main; the construction of filters for both Wainui and Karori; new mains in the Wellington Ward; purchase of Karori catchment-area, and the essential planting thereof. Extension to Brooklyn: Providing the necessary pumping plant, reservoir, rising and delivery mains, and reticulation. Extension to Island Bay: Necessary mains, reticulation, and services. Extension to Kilbirnie: Necessary mains, reticulation, and services. Extension to Roseneath: Necessary mains, reticulation, and services. Extension to Kelburne: Providing hydraulic rams and building, reservoir, mains, reticulation, and services.—One hundred and ninety thousand pounds: And whereas, of the said sum of one hundred and ninety thousand pounds, the sum of seventy thousand pounds or thereabouts is unexpended: And whereas the whole of the said works, except the construction of a new dam at Wainuiomata, now in course of construction, and the construction of a filter at Wainuiomata, and of a filter and meter at Karori, are now completed: And whereas it is unnecessary at the present time to construct a filter at Wainuiomata, and the construction of the same may be safely postponed for a considerable period: And whereas the cost of completing the construction of the new dam at Wainuiomata and of installing at Karori a new filter and meter will not exceed fifty-three thousand pounds, so that a sum of seventeen thousand pounds of the said loan-money will be available for other works: And whereas it is urgently necessary that the works hereinafter mentioned should be immediately executed in connection with the city water-supply:
Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows.—
