WHEREAS the Otaki Road Board lately proposed to raise a loan of two hundred pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for the construction of the Waitohu Valley Road Traffic-bridge: And whereas certain irregularities have occurred in the procedure to obtain such loan, inasmuch as there was a lapse of three days only instead of seven days between the public notification of the meeting of the ratepayers held to consider the proposal and the date of such meeting, which is in contravention of the provisions of section nine of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to validate such irregularities:
