Validating an Irregularity in the Special Order making a Special Rate as the Security for a Proposed Loan of £2,150 applied for by the Waipawa County Council to form and metal 445 chains of the Pukokomuka Road, under Section 10 of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902.”

RANFURLY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Auckland, this tenth day of December, 1903.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Waipawa County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of two thousand one hundred and fifty pounds for forming and metalling four hundred and forty-five chains of the Pukokomuka Road: And whereas a special order making a special rate was made as the security for the said loan, but the notice to confirm such special order, though published in each of four consecutive weeks, was not publicly notified in each of the four weeks immediately following the meeting at which the resolution making such special order was adopted, as required by subsection three of section one hundred and twenty-four of “The Counties Act, 1886”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to validate such irregularity:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and with the consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred by the tenth section of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” doth hereby validate the notifications of the said special order, and doth hereby declare that such public notifications and such special order shall be deemed and taken to be as valid to all intents and purposes as though the said special order had been regularly made and notified in accordance with subsection three of section one hundred and twenty-four of “The Counties Act, 1886”; and, further, that no proceedings taken in relation to the said special order and notifications or subsequent thereon shall be deemed to be insufficient or irregular by reason only of the insufficiency or the irregularity of such special order or the public notifications of such order respectively.

RANFURLY, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Auckland, this tenth day of December, 1903.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Moa Road Board lately proposed to raise, under the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” the five undermentioned loans—namely, £250 loan for the construction of John’s Road; £200 loan for the construction of Salisbury Road; £200 loan (being ten per centum on £2,000 loan) to metal Tariki Road; £120 loan to form Derby Road North; £200 loan to form Derby Road South: And whereas a resolution of the Board’s intention to make a special order striking a special rate was made in each case as the security for each loan: And whereas the meeting to pass the resolution in each case was called for the fourth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and three, but owing to the want of a quorum the said meeting was adjourned to the eighteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and three: And whereas section sixty-nine of “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” enacts that the Board may adjourn such meeting to another day not later than seven days thereafter: And whereas a period of fourteen days intervened between the date fixed for such meeting and the date to which the same was adjourned: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to validate such irregularity:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and with the consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority contained in the tenth section of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” doth hereby validate such irregular adjournments of the said meetings, and doth hereby declare that
