ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this seventh day of October, 1907.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Kaikoura County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of five thousand pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for the purpose of erecting a new wharf at Kaikoura: And whereas there was an interval of fourteen days between the last public notification of the intention to raise the said loan and the meeting of ratepayers held to consider the said proposal, instead of an interval not exceeding ten days as required by section nine of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the said notification of such meeting:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion 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 advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby declare that such meeting of ratepayers shall be deemed and taken to be as valid as though the said meeting had been held within the prescribed time, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
