PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this second day of April, 1908.
Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Masterton County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of one thousand four hundred pounds, under “The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1901,” for the purpose of metalling the Wangaehu Road in the said county: And whereas the ratepayers interested in the said loan, by consent in writing, authorised the Council of the said county, for the purposes of the said loan, to make and levy

a special rate of twenty-three hundreths of a penny in the pound on the rateable values of the properties included in the special-rating area for the said loan: And whereas, in place of making and levying the rate mentioned in the said consent, the said Council made and levied a special rate of nine-fortieths of a penny in the pound on the said rateable values, which last-mentioned rate yielded less than the special rate authorised, but still sufficient to meet the interest and other charges on the said loan: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the said special order:
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 said special order making the said special rate of nine-fortieths of a penny in the pound, and doth hereby order and declare that the said special order shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
