fifth day of October, 1911.
Present :
THE HONOURABLE SIR JAMES CARROLL, K.C.M.G.,

the purpose of erecting a bridge over the Pleasant River,
in the Goodwood Riding of the said county : And whereas

paragraph (a) of section 11 of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1908, as amended by subsection (2) of section 3 of the
Local Bodies' Loans Amendment Act, 1910 : And whereas
it appears that the said ratepayers have not been misled
by such irregularity or defect, and it is expedient to vali-
date the aforesaid proceedings :
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the powers
conferred by section 121 of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1908, and section 7 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 poll of the ratepayers herein-
before recited shall be taken to be as valid as though the
poll of the said ratepayers had been taken within the time
limited by the provisions of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1908, as amended by the Local Bodies' Loans Amendment
Act, 1910; and His Excellency the Governor, with the like
advice and consent as aforesaid, doth further order and
declare that the proceedings in connection with the said
loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the
irregularities or defects aforesaid.
