An Act to amend the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Act, 1908.
Preamble.
WHEREAS by section seventy-three of the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Act, 1908, power is conferred on the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board to borrow from any bank by way of overdraft any amount not exceeding the amount of the contributions for the time being outstanding: And whereas it is desired to extend such power by conferring on the said Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board power in like manner to borrow from any corporation or person by way of temporary loan: And whereas the said Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board desires authority to make advances to any of the contributing bodies by way of temporary loan when funds are so available and are not immediately required for other purposes: And whereas by section ninety-five of the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Act, 1908, power is conferred on the Governor-General by Proclamation to declare that any area described in such Proclamation shall be included in the Auckland and Suburban Drainage District: And whereas it is desirable to confer on the Governor- General power to exclude any area from the said Drainage District:
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 Auckland and Suburban Drainage Amendment Act, 1933, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Act, 1908.
2 Interpretation.
In this Act, if not inconsistent with the context,—
“The principal Act” means the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Act, 1908:
“The Drainage Board” means the Auckland and Suburban Drainage Board incorporated under the principal Act:

“Contributing bodies” shall have the same meaning as defined in the principal Act.
3 Drainage Board may borrow in anticipation of income.
(1)
The Drainage Board may, in anticipation of its income, borrow moneys from its bankers by way of overdraft, or from any person or persons:
Provided that it shall not be lawful for the Drainage Board—
(a)
So to borrow moneys to such an extent that there shall be owing by the Drainage Board at any time a sum exceeding three-fourths of its total income for the preceding year:
(b)
To owe under the authority of this section at the end of any year any sum greater than such part of the income of the year then ended as remains outstanding and unpaid.

4 Drainage Board may deposit moneys at interest with approved contributory bodies.
The Drainage Board may from time to time deposit at interest with any contributing body or contributing bodies approved for that purpose by the Governor-General in Council any moneys standing at credit of the Drainage Board’s account at the bank and not immediately required for other purposes. Any such approval may be at any time revoked.
5 Alterations of boundaries of drainage district.

The Governor-General may from time to time, by Order in Council, on the petition of the Drainage Board, publicly notified in the manner hereinafter provided at least one month before presentation, alter the boundaries of the drainage district so as to include therein or exclude therefrom any area that in his opinion, after considering any objections thereto duly lodged as hereinafter provided, and any answers thereto by the Drainage Board, should be included in or excluded from the drainage district, as the case may be.

The petition shall be publicly notified by means of an advertisement which shall be published at least once in a daily newspaper in general circulation in the drainage district and which shall state the purpose of the petition, describe the area to which the petition relates, and specify a date (being a date not earlier than one month after the date on which such advertisement is first published) before which all objections shall be lodged with the Minister of Internal Affairs, and a copy thereof with the Drainage Board.
