WHEREAS by a Warrant under the provisions of section two hundred and nineteen of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” dated the seventh day of May, one thousand nine hundred and six, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the tenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and six, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand did authorise the Council of the Borough of Cambridge to execute a certain public work, to wit, the construction of a bridge over the Waikato River, known as the Cambridge High-level Bridge, at a cost not exceeding eleven thousand three hundred and seventy-five pounds, and did declare that the cost of the work, less such contribution (if any) as might be made thereto by the Government of New Zealand, should be borne by the respective Councils of the Borough of Cambridge, the Waipa County, the Piako County, the Waikato County, and by the Pukekura Road Board, as contributing local authorities, in the proportions mentioned in such Warrant: And whereas for the purpose of providing the Waikato County Council’s share of the cost of constructing the said work the said Waikato County Council did, by a special order made at a special meeting of such Council on the fourteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and seven, and confirmed at a subsequent meeting of such Council on the twentieth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seven, authorise the raising of a loan of one thousand two hundred pounds, at five per centum per annum, for twenty-six years: And whereas for the purpose of providing interest and other charges on the said loan of one thousand two hundred pounds the said Waikato County Council did, by a special order made at a special meeting of such Council on the fourteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred and seven, and confirmed at a subsequent meeting of such Council on the twentieth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and seven, make and levy a special rate of one-sixtieth of a penny in the pound upon the rateable value of all rateable property within the Waikato County: And whereas in each of the special orders made by the Waikato County Council as aforesaid the date of the Warrant of His Excellency the Governor made as aforesaid is mentioned and given as “the thirteenth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and four,” instead of “the seventh day of May, one thousand nine hundred and six”: And whereas the said Waikato County Council has applied to the Minister of Finance, under the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901,” for a loan of one thousand two hundred pounds for the purpose aforesaid upon the authority of the said first-mentioned special order and upon the security of the special rate made by special order as aforesaid: And whereas the Governor is satisfied that the ratepayers have not been misled by the aforesaid irregularity in the said special orders made by the Waikato County Council, and it appears expedient to validate the said special orders:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities contained in the tenth section of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1902,” doth hereby validate the said recited special order of the Waikato County Council authorising a loan of one thousand two hundred pounds for the said work, and also the said recited special order of the Waikato County Council making and levying a special rate of one-sixtieth of a penny in the pound upon the rateable value of all rateable property in the Waikato County, and doth hereby declare that all proceedings thereunder shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as if the said special orders and each of them had correctly set forth the date of the Warrant of His Excellency the Governor as the seventh day of May, one thousand nine hundred and six, and had been duly and regularly made.
