Validating Voting-paper used and Special Order made in
Proceedings taken by the Kaiapoi Borough Council to raise
£3,000 under "The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1901."

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-
second day of July, 1908.
Present :
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Kaiapoi Borough Council lately pro-
posed to raise a loan of three thousand pounds from
the Public Trustee for the purpose of constructing, pro-
viding, establishing, and equipping an acetylene gasworks
for the manufacture and supply of gas to light the roads,
streets, and public places of the said Borough of Kaiapoi,
and for the said use of Council, and for the sale to private
consumers, and the doing of all things necessary or in-
cidental for the carrying-out or extension of such under-
taking, and construction and laying down the necessary
mains, &c. : And whereas at a poll of the said rate-
payers held on the seventh day of April, one thousand
nine hundred and eight, the proposal to raise such loan was
duly sanctioned, but the wording of the voting-paper used
at such election did not strictly comply with the form No. 1
in the Schedule to "The Local Bodies' Loans Amendment
Act, 1903" : And whereas the said Borough Council at a
special meeting held on the twenty-sixth day of May, one
thousand nine hundred and eight, made a resolution levying
a special rate as security for the said special loan of three
thousand pounds : And whereas such resolution was, after
due compliance with the formalities of the law, confirmed at
a special meeting of the Council held on the thirtieth day of
June, one thousand nine hundred and eight : And whereas
such special order levying such special rate did not strictly
comply with the form given in the Schedule to "The Local
Bodies' Loans Amendment Act, 1903," in that the rate was
levied upon the rateable value of all rateable property of the
Kaiapoi Borough Council, but did not state the particulars
of sections and block and name of the survey district, or
described the district by its boundaries : And whereas it
appears that the ratepayers have not been misled, and it is
expedient to validate the proceedings as taken by the said
Borough Council :
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 direct and declare that the said
voting-paper and the said special order shall be taken to be
as valid as though such voting-paper and such special order
were in the required form, and doth hereby declare that the
proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called into
question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.
J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

Metalling Loan of £3,000.

PLUNKET, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-
eighth day of July, 1908.
Present :
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Tauranga County Council lately made
a special order making and levying an annual-
recurring special rate of one halfpenny in the pound ster-
ling upon the unimproved rateable value of all rateable
property in the Te Puke Riding of the County of Tauranga
for the purpose of providing the interest and other charges
on a loan of three thousand pounds, authorised to be raised
under "The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1901," for the purpose
of metalling main roads in the Te Puke Riding aforesaid :
And whereas the advertisement of the resolution making
the order and of the time and place of the meeting confirm-
ing such resolution was published four times in three weeks
immediately preceding each subsequent meeting, instead of
once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding each
meeting : 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 special order shall be and be deemed to have been as
good and effectual as if the same had been advertised as
prescribed by "The Counties Act Amendment Act, 1903,"
and shall not be called in question by reason only of the
irregularity aforesaid.
J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
