ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-fifth day of April, 1904.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Eketauna County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of one hundred and ten pounds for the purpose of the erection of a traffic-bridge, in co-operation with the Pahiatua County Council, over the Mangahao River, at Marima: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as a security for the said loan: And whereas the provisions of section one hundred and twenty-four of “The Counties Act, 1886,” relating to special orders, were not complied with by the said Eketauna County Council, inasmuch as in the public notification of the meeting for the purpose of confirming the resolution adopting such special order the amount of the loan was stated as one hundred and fifty pounds in the advertisement which appeared in the Eketauna Express newspaper of the eighteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and four: And whereas an advertisement correcting the said error was published in the said newspaper of the twenty-fifth day of the same month, and the three subsequent public notifications of the said meeting were in order: 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, 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 section ten of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” doth hereby declare that the said public notifications shall be deemed and taken to be as valid to all intents and purposes as though the same were regular in form and the provisions of section one hundred and twenty-four of “The Counties Act, 1886,” had been duly complied with, and as though the amount of the loan had been correctly stated in the public notification in the Eketauna Express newspaper of the eighteenth day of February aforesaid.
