WHEREAS by virtue of section sixty of the Local Legislation Act, 1933, the Borough of Greymouth and the Town District of Cobden form one continuous area for the purposes of sections one hundred and forty-one to one hundred and forty-six of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1933: And whereas petitions by the Greymouth Borough Council and the Cobden Town Board (hereinafter in this Preamble called the Council and the Board respectively) have been duly presented to the Governor-General praying that the said Borough and the said Town District be declared one united borough, by the name of the Borough of Greymouth (hereinafter in this Act called the United Borough): And whereas the Council and the Board both desire that on the constitution of the United Borough the Council thereof shall have power to make and levy the general rate separately in those areas of the United Borough now forming the Borough of Greymouth and the Town District of Cobden respectively (hereinafter in this Act called the Greymouth area and the Cobden area respectively) in order that for a certain period substantially the same amount as is now produced by the general rate made and levied by the Board may continue to be produced from the Cobden area:

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 Greymouth United Borough Rating Empowering Act, 1934.

2 Council of United Borough may levy general rate separately in Greymouth area and Cobden area for a period of seven years.

In each or any of the seven financial years beginning with the financial year next succeeding that in which the United Borough is constituted, the Council thereof may levy its general rate separately in the Greymouth area and the Cobden area, and for that purpose section seventy-eight of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1933, shall apply in all respects as if those areas were wards of the Borough:

Provided that the general rate made and levied as aforesaid in any year shall be so made and levied as the Council shall determine to be not more than sufficient to produce from the Cobden area a total amount that bears to the total amount to be produced from the Greymouth area a proportion not higher than the proportion that the total amount produced by the general rate made and levied by the Cobden Town Board in respect of the financial year ended the thirty-first day of March, nineteen hundred and thirty-four, bears to the total amount produced by the general rate made and levied by the Greymouth Borough Council in that year.
