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.

This Act may be cited as the Wellington City and Suburban Water-supply Amendment Act, 1935, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Wellington City and Suburban Water-supply Act, 1927 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).

2 Amending provisions relating to the constitution of the Board of Control.

(1)

Section four of the Wellington City and Suburban Water-supply Amendment Act, 1930, is hereby repealed.

(2)

Subsections two to twelve inclusive of section three of the principal Act are hereby repealed, and the following subsections are substituted therefor:—

“(2)

The Board shall consist of seven members, namely:—

“(a)

The Mayor for the time being of the City of Wellington:

“(b)

Three members, one being a Councillor of and appointed by the Eastbourne Borough Council, one being a Councillor of and appointed by the Upper Hutt Borough Council, and one being a Councillor of and appointed by the Hutt County Council:

“(c)

Three Councillors of the Wellington City Council appointed by the Wellington City Council.

“(3)

The Mayor of Wellington may at any time authorize any Councillor of the Wellington City Council to act as his delegate at any meeting, and to exercise all the powers exercisable by him, and to act as Chairman of the Board.

“(4)

Any other member may at any time appoint as his delegate any person who could have been appointed by his appointer.

“(5)

In the month of May, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, and in the same month in every third year thereafter, the Councils entitled to make the appointments under paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection two of this section shall make such appointments, and the persons so appointed shall come into office on the first day of July following, and shall hold office until their successors come into office, but shall be capable of being reappointed.

“(6)

If any member holding office under subsection two of this section ceases to hold the necessary office qualification as Mayor or Councillor, as the case may be, he shall also thereupon cease to be a member of the Board. Any member of the Board, except the Chairman, may resign his office by writing addressed to the Clerk of the Board, and shall thereupon cease to be a member of the Board.

“(7)

If any appointed member ceases to be a member of the Board, the persons entitled to appoint such member shall appoint any qualified person in his stead, who shall hold office for the residue of the term of his predecessor in office.

“(8)

The validity or legality of acts done by the Board without knowledge that a member of the Board appointed under this section was not qualified to be appointed or to continue in office shall not be affected by reason of that fact, nor shall the validity or legality of any acts of the Board be affected by reason of the fact that after the coming into existence of the Board any member had vacated his seat and his successor had not come into office.

“(9)

The Mayor of Wellington or his delegate shall be Chairman of the Board, and shall have a deliberative vote and in any case in which the votes are equal shall have a casting vote also.

At every meeting of the Board four members shall form a quorum.”
