ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirteenth day of June, 1904.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Carterton Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of two hundred and fifty pounds for the purpose of forming and metalling Pembroke Street: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as a security for the said loan: And whereas the public notification of the said Council to make such rate is defective, inasmuch as in the description of the boundaries of the Pembroke Street Special-rating District the words “thence by a line bearing 38° 16′, 44 links; thence by a line bearing 127° 40′, 1240 links,” were omitted: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the aforesaid special-rating district 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 notification shall be deemed and taken to be valid to all intents and purposes as though the words omitted had been included therein, and as though the lands to be subject to such special rate had been correctly described in such public notification.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
