Validating the Public Notification of the Intention to raise a Loan of £2,300 for the Purpose of rebuilding the Main Outlet Culvert from the Waihao River to the Sea, applied for by the Wainono Drainage Board.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this eighteenth day of October, 1909.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Wainono Drainage Board lately proposed to raise a loan of two thousand three hundred pounds, under “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” for the purpose of rebuilding the main outlet culvert from the Waihao River to the sea, being a drainage-work within the meaning of “The Land Drainage Act, 1908”: And whereas the provisions of section eight of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” have not been complied with, inasmuch as the notice to raise the said loan required by that section, although published four times, was not published once in each week for four successive weeks: 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 in 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 public notification of intention to raise the said loan, and doth hereby declare that the proceedings relative to such loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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