ORDER IN COUNCIL.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Papakura Road Board lately proposed to raise a loan of three hundred and sixty-three pounds for the purpose of metalling the Brookby end of the said district: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as security for the said loan: And whereas the provisions of section seventy-five of “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” relating to special orders were not complied with by the said Board, inasmuch as public notice of the meeting for the purpose of passing the resolution making such special order, although published for four weeks successively, was not published for four successive weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting was held: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, 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 public notification of the special order shall be deemed and taken to be as valid as though the said notification had been properly published, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
