At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirty-first day of January, 1902.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Council of the Borough of Temuka lately proposed to raise a special loan of two thousand five hundred pounds for the purpose of establishing a water-supply and drainage scheme within portion of the said borough: And whereas, in accordance with the provisions of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” a poll of the electors (other than those enrolled upon a residential qualification) of the portion of the said borough to be affected by the said proposal was taken, at which the said proposal was carried: And whereas doubts have arisen as to the form of the voting-paper used at the said poll being regular, and in accordance with the provisions of the said Act: And whereas it is expedient to validate such voting-paper, and the proceedings taken thereon:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in him by the said “Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” doth hereby declare that the voting-paper used at the taking of the said poll of electors shall be deemed and taken to be as valid to all intents and purposes as though the same were regular in form and in accordance with the provisions of the said Act; and, further, that no proceedings taken in relation to the use of the said voting-paper, or consequent thereon, shall be deemed to be insufficient or irregular by reason only of the invalidity or informality of such voting-paper.
