Validating Proceedings in connection with Loan of £4,600, Onehunga Borough Council.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this tenth day of August, 1909.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE GEORGE FOW LDS PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Onehunga Borough Council recently proposed to raise a loan of four thousand six hundred pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” for the purpose of paying off a previous loan of the same amount for waterworks: And whereas an irregularity has occurred in the procedure to obtain such loan, inasmuch as the resolution required by section sixty-four of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908,” calling the special meeting of the Council to pass a resolution (to operate as a special order) raising such loan of four thousand six hundred pounds did not specify the place of such meeting: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the aforesaid proceedings:

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 order and declare that the said resolution calling the above-mentioned meeting of Councillors shall be taken to be as valid as though it had contained the full particulars required by section sixty-four of “The Municipal Corporations Act, 1908,” and that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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