ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this first day of June, 1909.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.,
PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Grey Lynn Borough Council lately took a poll on a proposal to borrow, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act 1908,” and its amendment, the sum of thirty-two thousand five hundred pounds for the purpose of cutting and formation of roads, and drainage and water extension, and other matters: And whereas, for the purpose of providing interest and sinking fund and other charges upon the said loan, the said Grey Lynn Borough Council did, by special order, make and levy a special rate of one penny and one-eighth of a penny in the pound on the unimproved value (three hundred and sixty-four thousand four hundred and forty-four pounds) of all rateable property in the said Borough of Grey Lynn: And whereas the public notification of the said special order making the special rate was published in the New Zealand Herald newspaper for four weeks, but was not published once in each full week intervening between the special meeting passing such special order and the subsequent meeting at which the special order was confirmed, as required by section sixty-five of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908”:

And whereas such subsequent meeting was called for the twelfth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and nine, but owing to the said twelfth day of April being Easter Monday the said special order was not confirmed until the fourteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and nine: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, and it seems expedient to validate such irregularities:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers 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 validate the said public notification and the proceedings confirming such special resolution, under section sixty-five of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908”; and doth hereby declare that the proceedings in relation to the said loan and special order making and levying the said special rate shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as though the said notification had been correctly published and the said special meeting confirming the said special order had been held on the date appointed for holding the same, and that the validity of the proceedings or of the security for the said loan shall not be questioned on the ground of the aforementioned irregularities or defects.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

And whereas, for the purpose of providing interest and sinking fund and other charges upon the said loan, the said Grey Lynn Borough Council did, by special order, make and levy a special rate of seven-sixteenths of a penny in the pound on the unimproved (three hundred and sixty-four thousand four hundred and forty-four pounds) value of all rateable property in the said Borough of Grey Lynn: And whereas the public notification of the said special order making the special rate was published in the New Zealand Herald newspaper for four weeks, but was not published once in each full week intervening between the special meeting passing such special order and the subsequent meeting at which the special order was confirmed, as required by section sixty-five of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908”: And whereas such subsequent meeting was called for the twelfth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and nine, but owing to the said twelfth day of April being Easter Monday the said special order was not confirmed until the fourteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and nine: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, and it appears expedient to validate such irregularities:
