[No. 26

said Act specified the place at which the special meeting was
to be held to pass a special order making a special rate for
the payment of interest and sinking fund respecting the said
loan of twenty thousand pounds, nor the place at which the
subsequent meeting was to be held to confirm such special
order, and inasmuch as it appears also that the wording of
the special order passed by the said Borough Council in
respect to the said loan is not in accordance with the form
prescribed in the Schedule to “The Local Bodies’ Loans
Amendment Act, 1903”: And whereas it appears that the
ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to vali-
date such irregularities:

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 Amend-
ment Act, 1902,” and acting by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby
order and declare that the said special meeting and subse-
quent meeting, and the said special order, shall be taken to
be as valid as though the said requisition calling the said
meeting and the said notices notifying the said Councillors
had been regularly made and given, as required by subsec-
tions one and two of section seventy-two and subsection
five of section seventy-three of “The Municipal Corpora-
tions Act, 1900,” and as though the said special order was
in due form, and that the proceedings relative to the said
loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the
irregularities aforesaid.
