ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twelfth day of September, 1910.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Waipawa County Council lately proposed to raise a further loan of two hundred and fifty pounds to complete the Lindsay Water-race, under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908 : And whereas the special order making the special rate as security for the loan, although publicly notified once in each of four weeks, was not publicly notified once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting to confirm such special order was held, as required by section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908 : And whereas it appears that the ratepayers upon whose properties the said special rate is to be levied 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 special order shall be deemed to be as good and effective as if the public notifications thereof had been properly published, and that the said special order shall not be called into question by reason only of such irregularity as aforesaid.

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 relating to the said special order so published as aforesaid with respect to the said loan of five hundred and fifty pounds, and doth hereby declare that the said notifications and special order shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities above referred to.

ISLINGTON, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twelfth day of September, 1910.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Piako County Council lately resolved by special order to raise and borrow from the New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Office Superintendent a special loan of four hundred pounds for the purpose of providing the Council’s share of the cost of completing the construction of the Te Aroha Traffic Bridge and approaches, and also resolved by way of special order to make and levy a special rate of one-eightieth of a penny in the pound upon the unimproved value of the rateable property of the County of Piako to provide the interest and other charges on such loan : And whereas the provisions of section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908, for the making of such special orders were not strictly complied with by the said Council, inasmuch as, while public notices of such two special orders were given once in the fourth week, once in the third week, and twice in the first week prior to confirmation, no notice was given during the second week preceding the day of meeting on which the resolutions making such special orders were confirmed : 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 of all other powers and authorities him thereunto enabling, 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 special orders resolving to raise and borrow the loan aforesaid, and to
