PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-sixth
day of September, 1904.

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,” a loan of one hundred pounds
for the purpose of rebuilding the bridge over the Kura-
pete Stream on the Everett Road, and for forming and
metalling the approaches: And whereas section seventy-
five of “ The Road Boards Act, 1882,” enacts that the
intention to pass a resolution making a special order shall
be publicly notified once in each of the four weeks im-
mediately preceding the meeting at which such resolution
is to be proposed: And whereas a period of seven days
intervened between the tenth day of February, one thou-
sand nine hundred and four, being the date of the final
public notification of the intention to make such special
order, and the date of the meeting held for the purpose of
passing the resolution making such special order: And
whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the 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 validate such irregular notification
of the said meeting, and doth hereby declare that such
meeting shall be deemed and taken to be as valid to all
intents and purposes as though the same had been held in
strict accordance with section seventy-five of “ The Road
Boards Act, 1882,” and doth hereby declare that neither the
said special order nor the proceedings relative to the said
loan shall be called in question by reason only of the irre-
gularity aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-
sixth day of September, 1904.

Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Woodville County Council lately pro-
posed to raise a loan of six hundred pounds for
the purpose of deviating the road known as England’s
Hill and erecting a bridge over the Oruakeritaki Stream,
Maharahara: 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 order is
defective, inasmuch as there was a lapse of ten days be-
tween the last notification and the date of confirmation:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the 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 pursuance and
exercise 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 if the same had been regular in form, and that
the said special order shall not be called in question by
reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
