PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirtieth
day of July, 1906.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Taieri County Council lately proposed
to raise a loan of five hundred pounds, under the
provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for
metalling roads leading to Main Road in Block III, Maungatua Survey District, Taieri County, and a further loan of
fifty pounds, under the provisions of subsection (c) of section
eight of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1903,”
the sum being ten per centum of the first-mentioned loan of
five hundred pounds, and being required to complete works
scheduled under the aforesaid loan of five hundred pounds:
And whereas in the description of the rating-area in the
public notifications of the special orders making the special
rates Sections 68 and 69 are included in the rating-area
instead of Sections 67 and 68, Block III, Maungatua Survey
District: 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 the special orders, both for the said loan
of five hundred pounds and further loan of fifty pounds,
shall respectively be deemed and taken to be as valid as
though the rating-area had been correctly described in the
said public notifications, and that the proceedings relative
to the said loans shall not be called in question by reason
only of the irregularity aforesaid.

ALEX. WILLIS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
