ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-seventh day of February, 1911.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS in September, one thousand nine hundred and five, the Raglan County Council applied to the Colonial Treasurer, under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1901 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), and its amendments, for a loan of eight thousand pounds, for the purpose of completing the formation and metalling of the road from Ngaruawahia to Waingaro, the road from Waingaro to Waimai, and the Waingaro Beach Road: And whereas by section sixteen (subsection one) of the said Act it is provided that the special rate to provide for the payment of interest or interest and sinking fund upon any special loan shall be made and levied by special order duly gazetted: And whereas a special order of the said Council purporting to make and levy a special rate in respect of such loan was passed by the said Council on the tenth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and six, and confirmed on the twelfth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and six: And whereas the form of special order gazetted by the said Raglan County Council in Gazette No. 18, of the eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and six, did not correspond with the special order so purported to be made by the said Council, inasmuch as the said special order as appearing in the minute-book of the said county purports to exempt Crown and Native lands occupied by Native owners situated within the rating area for the said loan from payment of the said special rate of one and a half pence in the pound on the rateable value of all rateable property in the Waingaroa-Tainui Special Rating District: And whereas the special order as appearing in the Gazette No. 18, of the eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and six, and as advertised in the Waikato Argus newspapers of the sixteenth, twenty-third, and thirtieth January, and sixth February, one thousand nine hundred and six, makes and levies the said rate over the whole of the rateable value of all rateable property in the Waingaroa-Tainui Special Rating District, and omits the words “Crown and Native land occupied by Native owners excepted,” as appearing in the special order as recorded in the minute-book of the said county: And whereas the said Raglan County included the above-mentioned words in its notice of intention to borrow the aforesaid amount of eight thousand pounds, which was advertised in the Waikato Argus newspapers of the thirtieth November, and seventh, fourteenth, and twenty-first December, one thousand nine hundred and five, and also on the voting-paper used on the poll taken on the ninth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and five, in connection with the said loan: And whereas the Governor is satisfied that the inclusion of the words “Crown and Native land occupied by Native owners excepted” used by the Raglan County Council in its notice of intention to borrow, the voting-paper used, and the special order made striking the aforesaid rate as security for such loan and recorded in the minute-book of the said Council, was contrary to law and without legal authority, and that the special order striking the special rate of one and a half pence in the pound over the rateable value of all rateable property in the Waingaro-Tainui Special Rating District, as appearing in the Gazette of the eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and six, was in the legal form required by the said Act, and that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects: And whereas it appears expedient to validate the proceedings hereinafter mentioned:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities contained in section one hundred and twenty-one of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, doth hereby validate the proceedings taken by the said Raglan County Council in striking the aforesaid special rate, and doth hereby declare that the special order inserted by the said Council in Gazette No. 18, of the eighth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and six, shall be taken as being in all respects the special order of the said Council striking the said rate, and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as if the wording of same had been followed by the said Council in passing its said special order.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
