WHEREAS the Weber County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of six thousand pounds under "The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1901," for the purpose of forming and making roads throughout the County of Weber:
And whereas the public notification of the meeting of ratepayers to consider the said loan specified the proposed special rate as one-fifth of a penny in the pound sterling, and the voting-papers used in connection with the poll taken on the said proposal did not state any specified rate:
And whereas the said special rate should have been stated in the said voting-papers at one-fifth of a penny in the pound sterling:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity so far as the same relates to the voting-papers, and it is expedient to validate the same :
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by section ten of "The Local Bodies' Loans Amendment Act, 1902," and acting by and with the consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby declare that such voting-papers shall be deemed and taken to be as valid for the purpose of authorising the said loan on the security, inter alia, of a special rate of one-fifth of a penny in the pound sterling on the rateable value of all rateable property in the Weber County as though the special rate had been stated therein at one-fifth of a penny in the pound sterling, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
