At the Government House, at Wellington, this eighteenth day of November, 1907.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Ekatahuna County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of three hundred and fifty pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for the purpose of erecting a suspension bridge over the Mangatainoka River: And whereas the consent of the ratepayers and the special order making the special rate do not show that the proposed loan is for an authorised public work, but state that the purpose for which the loan is authorised is to “supplement a Government grant of £200”: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the same:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities 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 order and declare that the said consent of the ratepayers and the special order shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as though the words “for the purpose of supplementing a grant of £200” had been omitted therefrom, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
