Validating the Dates when the Special Rate made as the Security for the Loan of £5,000 becomes payable, which were incorrectly stated in the Special Order authorising the Raising of the Loan.

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this second day of February, 1906.

Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE R. J. SEDDON PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Dannevirke Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of five thousand pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” and “The Slaughtering and Inspection Act, 1900,” for the purpose of providing for the purchase of land and cost of erection of an abattoir thereon: And whereas the special order authorising the raising of the said loan indicates that the rate shall be payable half-yearly on the first day of January and the first day of July in each year, whilst the special order making the special rate makes such rate payable on the first day of January and the first day of August in each year: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to validate the said Council’s actions:

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 the dates of payment of rate mentioned in the special order making the said special rate shall be deemed and taken to be valid, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

WHEREAS the Riccarton Road Board lately proposed to raise loans of nine hundred and sixty pounds and nine hundred and eighty pounds respectively, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for the purpose of constructing concrete channels on roads on and bounding part of R.S. one hundred and sixty-three, east of railway-line, and on roads on and bounding R.S. ten, both in the Riccarton Road District: And whereas the public notification of the special order making the special rates was published in the Lyttelton Times newspaper for four weeks, but was not published once in each week of the four weeks immediately preceding the date of the subsequent meeting at which the special order was confirmed, as required by section two of “The Road Boards Acts Amendment Act, 1905”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the said notification:

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 loans shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid, nor shall the said special order be deemed invalid by reason of any want of formality in the form thereof.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
