15 Provision with respect to payment of increased slaughtering charges by Timaru Borough Council

Whereas the Timaru Borough Council (in this section referred to as the
"Council" ) entered into an agreement dated 22 May 1946 with Henry Davidson and James Leslie Brown, of Timaru, contractors (in this section referred to as the
"contractors" ) for slaughtering stock at the Timaru Abattoir at certain prescribed charges:   And whereas during the currency of the said agreement the wages payable by the contractors were increased but the contractors were unable to increase their charges under the said agreement:     And whereas the Council desires to pay to the contractors increased slaughtering charges in respect of the period commenced on 1 April 1947 and ended on 31 March 1948 and it is expedient that the Council be authorised to pay the said increased charges to the contractors:     Be it therefore enacted as follows:  

1 The Council is hereby authorised in respect of the period commenced on 1 April 1947 and ended on 31 March 1948 to pay to the contractors charges in excess of those set out in the said agreement to the extent of 4 pence each for cattle, calves, and pigs, and 2 pence each for sheep and lambs, slaughtered by the contractors during that period.

2 All payments already made to the contractors by the Council by way of increased slaughtering charges during the period and at the rates provided for in subsection (1) are hereby validated and declared to have been lawfully made.
