[15th May, 1924.]

AND WHEREAS the several Orders specified in the second column of the Schedule to this Act were made under the said Statutory Undertakings (Temporary Increase of Charges) Act, 1918, and respectively authorised certain increases in the charges which might be made by the electricity undertakings named in the first column to the said Schedule,

AND WHEREAS all the said Orders expired on the 31st day of August, 1923,

AND WHEREAS the circumstances which rendered an increase in the charges which might be made by the said electricity undertakings necessary and proper have continued since the 31st day of August, 1923, and still continue to exist, and it is therefore expedient that the said Orders should be continued in force as from the 31st day of August, 1923.

AND WHEREAS it is also expedient that provision should be made for the revision as changing circumstances may require of the said several Orders specified in the Schedule to this Act as well as of all other Orders which have been, or shall be made under the said Statutory Undertakings (Temporary Increase of Charges) Act, 1918, in respect of electricity undertakings in Saorstát Eireann,
