ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-ninth day of October, 1906.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Sefton-Ashley Drainage Board has applied to the Colonial Treasurer, under the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), and its amendments, for a loan of four thousand pounds for the purpose of erecting protective works along the north bank of the Ashley River from the railway-bridge eastwards (three thousand three hundred pounds), along the banks of Lower Stoney Creek (two hundred pounds), and lower end of Fox’s Creek (five hundred pounds): And whereas by section eleven of the said Act it is provided that the form of voting-paper set forth in the Schedule to “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1903,” shall be used at any poll of ratepayers taken upon a proposal for a loan under the said Act: And whereas the said form of voting-paper requires that there should be inserted therein the date of taking such poll and the provisions for the repayment of the said loan: And whereas the voting-papers used at the poll of ratepayers taken under the provisions of the said Act upon the proposal to raise the said loan on the fourteenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and six, did not contain the date of such poll or the provisions for the repayment of the said loan: And whereas the Governor is satisfied that the ratepayers have not been misled by either of such irregularities or defects, and it appears expedient to validate the said poll of ratepayers:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities contained in the tenth section of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” doth hereby validate the form of voting-paper so used at the said recited poll of ratepayers, and doth hereby declare that all proceedings thereunder shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as if the said form of voting-paper had been regular and in order.
