Validating the Public Notifications for a Loan of £350 for the Construction of the Whare Road under Section 10 of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902.” applied for by the Kiwitea County Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of September, 1904.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Kiwitea County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of three hundred and fifty pounds for the construction of the Whare Road: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as security for the said loan: And whereas the public notification of the said Council to make such rate is defective, inasmuch as in the advertisements published in the Rangitikei Advocate newspaper on the thirtieth day of November, and the seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-first days of December, one thousand nine hundred and three, the currency of the said loan was stated to be for a period of forty-two years instead of forty-one years: 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 as valid to all intents and purposes as if the currency of the loan had been rightly described in such public notification.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

Validating a Loan for £1,800 for the Purpose of metalling the Huia Road from the Alfredton-Weber Road to the Waihoki Road, under Section 10 of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” applied for by the Akitio County Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of September, 1904.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Akitio County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of one thousand eight hundred pounds for the purpose of metalling the Huia Road from the Alfredton-Weber Road to the Waihoki Road: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as security for the said loan, which was not in accordance with “The Counties Act, 1886,” inasmuch as the meeting called for the purpose of confirming the said special order was not held on the date advertised, but was held subsequently thereto: 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, in exercise and pursuance of the powers and authorities conferred by section ten of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” and acting with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby order and declare that the said special order shall be deemed and taken as valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been regular in form and in accordance with the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and “The Counties Act, 1886,” respectively.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifth day of September, 1904.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Cook County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of six hundred pounds for the purchase of land and the construction of a road through Puhakotiko Block: 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 preceding the date of confirmation, as required by section eleven of “The Counties Act Amendment Act, 1903,” there being an interval of ten days between the last public notification and the date when the special order was confirmed: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled:

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 notification 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; 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 of the public notifications of such special order respectively.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
