Validating a Misdescription of the Special-rating Area which occurred in the Public Notifications and also the Gazetted Notice of the Special Order in the matter of the £900 Loan to construct a Portion of Duthie Road, which was applied for by the Hawera County Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-third day of October, 1905.

Present:

His EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Hawera County Council did publicly notify the resolution for making and levying a special rate as required by section eleven (three) of “The Counties Act Amendment Act, 1903,” for the purpose of providing the interest and other charges on a loan of £900, authorised to be raised by the Hawera County Council, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and the amendments thereof, for the purpose of constructing a portion of the Duthie Road—that is, from the Eltham Road to a point nineteen chains to the southward of the southern boundary of the Eltham-Opunake Railway Reserve: And whereas an irregularity appeared in such public notification in that the northern halves of Sections 25 and 26 of Block XII., Kaupokonui, instead of the southern halves of such sections, were stated as being embraced within the special area: And whereas a similar misdescription occurred in notifying the special order in Gazette No. 74, page 1929, of the tenth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and five: And whereas it appears expedient to validate the said recited notifications:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, being satisfied that the ratepayers have not been misled, and acting under the powers conferred by section ten of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby validate the said recited notifications, and doth hereby declare that such notifications or the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
