the expression “rateable value” when used in relation to a hereditament, or hereditaments, or area, means the annual rateable value under the Valuation Acts of such hereditament, or of all such hereditaments or of all the hereditaments comprised in such area (as the case may be); | ||
the expression “agricultural land” means and includes any hereditament or tenement entered as land in the valuation list within the meaning of the Valuation Acts which is not part of a railway or canal and which was not at the date of the passing of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898 , situate within the boundary of a borough or of any town which was then (for the time being) an urban sanitary district; | ||
the expression “other hereditament” means and includes any hereditament or tenement which is not agricultural land; | ||
the expression “agricultural grant” means the total amount of the sums payable to a county council under section 48 of the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898 , and under the Local Government (Rates on Agricultural Land) Act, 1925 , for the purpose of being applied in relief of rates on the agricultural land in the county (exclusive of any urban district therein) in a local financial year; | ||
every expression used in this Act which is also used in the Principal Act shall, save where otherwise expressly so stated, have the same meaning as it has in the Principal Act. | ||
(2) In this Act the expression “joint district” means, as the case may require, either— | ||
