Present:
THE HONOURABLE JAMES CARROLL PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Feilding Borough Council did, on the
twenty-sixth day of January, one thousand nine
hundred and nine, by special order, make a special rate of
one-seventieth of a penny in the pound for providing the
interest and other charges on a loan of four hundred and
twenty-five pounds, authorised to be raised by the Council of
the Borough of Feilding, under the provisions of "The Local
Bodies' Loans Act, 1908," for paying the Council's share of
cost of construction of Lower Gorge Bridge in terms of
Governor's Warrant, duly gazetted on the twenty-sixth day
of April, one thousand nine hundred and six: And whereas
the said special order, making and levying the said special
rate of one-seventieth of a penny in the pound on the rate-
able value of all the rateable property of the Borough of
Feilding, was duly passed at a properly constituted special
meeting of the Council of the said borough on the twenty-
sixth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and nine,
and was duly published once in each week for a period of
four weeks thereafter, but was not published once in each
full week intervening between the date of the passing of the
said special order and the date of its confirmation on the
fourth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and nine,
as required by paragraph (c) of section sixty-five of "The
Municipal Corporations Act, 1908":
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 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 shall be and be deemed to have
been as good and effectual as if such special order had been
duly published once in each full week intervening between
the two meetings, and that such special order shall not be
called into question by reason only of any such irregularity
as aforesaid.
