3 Special Act.
This Act shall be deemed to be a special Act within the meaning of the Harbours Act, 1923.
4 Power to borrow.
It shall be lawful for the Board, from time to time as it may require, to borrow, subject to the provisions of the Harbours Act, 1923, and the Local Government Loans Board Act, 1926, a sum or sums not exceeding in the whole the sum of thirty thousand pounds (in addition to any moneys heretofore authorized to be borrowed by the Board under or by virtue of any other Act) for the purpose of carrying out and completing the works specified in the Schedule hereto.
