Validating the Public Notifications of the Special Order making the Special Rate as the Security for the Loan of £1,164 for the Construction of Drainage-works for that Portion of the Borough of Onslow defined as the Kaiwarra Drainage-area.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this fifteenth day of September, 1908.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Onslow Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of one thousand one hundred and sixty-four pounds for the purpose of constructing drainage-works for that portion of the Borough of Onslow defined by the Council as the Kaiwarra drainage-area: And whereas a special order making a special rate has been made as security for the said loan: And whereas the provisions of section seventy-three, subsection three, of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1900,” relating to special orders, were not strictly complied with by the said Council, inasmuch, although four public notices of the said special order were given, such notices did not appear once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day of the meeting at which the said special order was confirmed, and inasmuch as the public notices were published in three newspapers circulating in the district, instead of one newspaper only: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities, 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 one hundred and twenty-one of “The Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908,” 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 and the public notifications in connection therewith shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as if the said order and notifications had been regularly made, and that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
