Validating the Public Notifications of the Notice of Intention to raise a Loan of £4,500 for a certain Public Work in the Borough of Onslow.

PLUNKET, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this sixteenth day of May, 1910.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Onslow Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of four thousand five hundred pounds for the purpose of providing compensation for lands proposed to be taken under the Public Works Act, 1908, for the purpose of constructing and providing waterworks within the meaning of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908, in and for the benefit of a defined part of the borough, and for the legal and other costs and incidental expenses of and in connection with the raising of the loan and the taking of such land and for interest on the loan for the first year: And whereas the notice of intention to raise the loan was duly published once in each week for four successive weeks: And whereas the provisions of section eight of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908 (under which Act the proceedings were originally commenced), relating to notices of intention to raise loans, were not strictly complied with by the said Council, inasmuch as, although four public notices of the said notice of intention to raise the loan were given, such notices were published in three newspapers circulating in the district instead of one newspaper only: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities, 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
