HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Ohakune Town Board lately took steps, under section fifteen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, to borrow the sum of three hundred pounds for the purpose of forming and gravelling footpaths within a special area of the Ohakune Town District: And whereas the special roll required by section twenty-two of the Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1908, was prepared, completed, and deposited at the office of the Ohakune Town Board for inspection, but no notification that the said special roll was open for inspection was given: And whereas the public notification of the proposed confirmation of the special order making the special rate as security for the said loan was advertised during four successive weeks, but no notice thereof was issued during the first week succeeding the first resolution of the Board authorising the loan and making the rate: And whereas all the ratepayers but one in the special rating area affected signed the consent required by subsection (d) of section fifteen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, by reason whereof it appears that the ratepayers of the said town district have not been misled by the irregularities aforesaid, and it is expedient to validate the said proceedings and special order:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities vested in him 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 notices relative to the said special order so published as aforesaid with respect to the loan of three hundred pounds, and doth hereby declare that the said notification and special order shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities above referred to.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Hamilton Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of two thousand one hundred pounds, under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, for the purpose of laying and constructing pipes for the supply of water and other waterworks within the following area: All that part of the Borough of Hamilton, being part of the Town of Hamilton East, bounded—commencing at a point on the Waikato River by a line, being the south-eastern boundary-line of Allotment 219 of the Parish of Kirikiriroa, produced to the Waikato River; thence by the said Allotment 219, a line across Heaphy Terrace, Allotment 220 of the Parish of Kirikiriroa, and a line across a road one hundred links wide to the north-east corner of Allotment 413 of the Town of Hamilton East; thence by an education reserve to a point in Clyde Street opposite the north-west corner of Allotment 53 of the Town of Hamilton East; thence by a line across Clyde Street, Allotments 53, 52, and 51A of the Town of Hamilton East, a line across Cook Street, Allotments 54, 55, 56, 57, and 58 of the Town of Hamilton East, a line across Wellington Street and Allotments 153, 152, and 151 of the Town of Hamilton East to the north-west corner of Allotment 148 of the Town of Hamilton East; thence by Allotments 147, 146, and 145 of the Town of Hamilton East, a line across Nixon Street, Allotments 138, 137, 136, 135, 134, and 133 of the Town of Hamilton East, a line across Firth Street, Allotments 129, 128, 127, and 124 of the Town of Hamilton East, a line across Heaphy Terrace and Allotments 112 and 107 of the Town of Hamilton East to the north-west corner of the said Allotment 107; thence by the said Allotment 107 to its southern corner; thence by a line across McFarlane Street and Allotment 100 of the Town of Hamilton East to the eastern corner of Allotment 102 of the Town of Hamilton East; thence by the said Allotment 102 to its northern corner; thence by the said Allotment 102 and Allotments 103 and 83 of the Town of Hamilton East to the north-west corner of the said Allotment 83; thence by Whitaker Street to the Waikato River; thence by the Waikato River to the commencing-point: 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 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 the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby order and declare that the said public notifications of intention to raise the loan shall be deemed to be as good and effectual as if they had been properly published, and that the said public notifications of intention to raise the loan shall not be called into question by reason only of such irregularity as aforesaid.
