And whereas the voting-papers used at the poll for the said loan by a clerical error stated that the sinking fund to be created for the redemption of the said loan was three pounds (£3) per centum per annum, in place of one pound (£1) per centum per annum, the latter being the amount of the sinking fund intended to be created :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers 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 said voting-paper, and doth hereby declare that the proceedings relative to the said loan shall not be called in question by reason of the irregularity aforesaid.
