WHEREAS the Gonville Town Board in or about the month of December, one thousand nine hundred and seven, proposed to raise a loan of seven thousand pounds for the provision of a water-supply, drainage, and for general street-improvements within the said Gonville Town District : 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 Wanganui Herald, a newspaper circulating in the district : And whereas the last publication of the said notice required by section eight was on the sixth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eight : And whereas the meeting of ratepayers to consider the proposal was summoned by published notice on the sixth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eight, for the ninth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eight, of which later date seven clear days’ notice was therefore not given as required by law : And whereas a poll was taken for the said proposal on the twenty-seventh day of January, one thousand nine hundred and eight, and the proposal was carried : And whereas, notwithstanding the irregularity in holding the said meeting earlier than seven days after publication of the notice thereof, 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 meeting held as aforesaid shall be deemed and taken to have been as properly convened and held as if it had been convened 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.
