seventh day of May, 1907.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Akito County Council, on the nine-

satisfied that the ratepayers of the said county have not
been misled by the form of such voting-paper, and it is
expedient to validate such irregularity:

Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power conferred by section ten of “The Local Bodies’
Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” and acting by and with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said

so used as aforesaid shall be deemed and taken to be as
valid as though the same were in due form, and that the
proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in
question by reason of the irregularity aforesaid.
