ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-first day of October, 1907.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Carrington Road Board passed a resolution to the effect that, for the purpose of providing the interest and other charges on a loan of two thousand seven hundred pounds, authorised to be raised by the Board, the Board make and levy a special rate of three-elevenths of a penny in the pound on the rateable value of all rateable property of the Carrington Road District: And whereas the resolution was confirmed as a special order on the fifteenth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and seven: And whereas the public notification of the resolution appeared in the Taranaki Herald on the sixteenth July, twenty-third July, thirtieth July, and sixth August, all in the year one thousand nine hundred and seven, but did not appear once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the said resolution was confirmed as a special order, as provided by section two of “The Road Boards Acts Amendment Act, 1905”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is expedient to validate such irregularity:

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 validate the public notification of the said special order so made as aforesaid, and doth hereby order and declare that the said special rate shall not be questioned on the ground of the irregularity or defect aforesaid.
