five hundred pounds for the purpose of extra reticulation
and alteration of the Martinborough town water-supply:
And whereas the notice required by section eight of “The
Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” as amended by “The
Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1908,” was duly
published once in each week for four successive weeks in
the Martinborough Star, a newspaper circulating in the dis-
trict: And whereas the last publication of the said notice re-
quired by section eight was on the sixth day of January, one
thousand nine hundred and nine: And whereas the meet-
ing of ratepayers to consider the proposal was summoned
for, and held on, the fifth day of January, one thousand
nine hundred and nine: And whereas a poll was taken for
the said proposal on the fourteenth day of January, one
thousand nine hundred and nine, and the proposal was
carried: And whereas, notwithstanding the irregularity in
holding the said meeting the day before the last publication
of the notice aforesaid, it appears that the ratepayers have
not been misled thereby, 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 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 declare that the said meet-
ing held as aforesaid shall be deemed and taken to have
been as properly convened and held as if it had been con-
vened and held in accordance with the provisions of section
eight aforesaid; and that the poll shall be deemed and
taken to have been valid, and that the proceedings relative
to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason
only of the said irregularity.
