ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this thirtieth day of December, 1909.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Matamata County Council, under the provisions of “The Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908,” recently applied to the Minister of Finance for a special loan of one thousand two hundred pounds (£1,200) for the purpose of road-construction at Horahora-Maungatautari: And whereas the public notifications of the special order making the special rate as the security for the proposed loan were irregular, inasmuch as the dates of payment of the rate mentioned therein appear as being half-yearly on the first days of January and July in each year during the currency of the loan, whilst in the special order itself the rate is stated to be payable yearly on the first day of September in each year during the currency of the loan: And whereas, the ratepayers having consented to pay the rate yearly as aforesaid, it appears that they 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 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 said public notifications of the said special order, and doth hereby declare that the proceedings with reference to the said loan shall be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as though the said public notifications had been correctly made.

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

And whereas an error was made in the description of the boundaries of portion of Section No. 91, Block XIII, Maungaharuru Survey District, Hawke’s Bay Land District, in the Warrants of the twenty-first day of May and the thirty-first day of July, one thousand nine hundred and eight, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 42, of the twenty-eighth day of May, and No. 60, of the sixth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and eight, respectively, reserving the land for a site for a post-office; and it is expedient to cancel the said notifications in so far as they relate to the said portion of Section No. 91, Block XIII, Maungaharuru Survey District, Hawke’s Bay Land District:

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, do hereby revoke the Warrants of the twenty-first day of May and the thirty-first day of July, one thousand nine hundred and eight, in so far as they relate to the said portion of Section No. 91, Block XIII, Maungaharuru Survey District, and do declare that the land described in the Schedule hereto shall be set apart for a site for a post-office.
