ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings, at Wellington, this twenty-ninth day of March, 1911.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE JAMES CARROLL PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Westport Borough Council on the eighth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, passed a special order, which was confirmed on the ninth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and eleven, authorizing the raising of a special loan of nine thousand six hundred and thirteen pounds nine shillings and twopence, for the purpose of paying or clearing off the overdraft of the said Council existing on the thirty-first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and ten, under the provisions of section sixteen of the Municipal Corporations Amendment Act, 1910:

And whereas the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1908, were not strictly complied with by the said Council, inasmuch as although four public notices of the intention to make such special order were given, such notices were published in two newspapers circulating in the district instead of one newspaper only:

And whereas verbal instead of written notice was given to the Councillors of the time and place of holding the special meeting to confirm such special order:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, 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, as amended by section seven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Amendment Act, 1910, 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 notices of confirmation of such special order and notice to Councillors of the time and place of holding such meeting shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effective as if the said notices had been regularly given, and doth hereby also validate the same accordingly, and doth hereby also declare that the validity of the proceedings relative to the said loan, or of the security for the said loan, shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.

H. D. GROCOTT,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
