ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-sixth day of February, 1912.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS the Featherston County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of two thousand pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and the amendments thereof, for the purpose of erecting a bridge over the Ruamahunga River, near Martinborough, in the said county: And whereas the voting-paper used for the purposes of the proposed loan at a poll of the ratepayers within the Otaraiа, Awhea, Pahaoa, and Martinborough Ridings of the said county was in the form set out in the Local Elections and Polls Act, 1908, and not in the form numbered (1) in the Second Schedule to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, as prescribed by section eleven of that Act: And whereas it appears that the said ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity or defect, and it is expedient to validate the aforesaid proceedings:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred by section one hundred and twenty-one of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and 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 poll of the ratepayers hereinbefore recited shall be deemed to be as valid as if the voting-paper used at that poll had been in the form numbered (1) in the Second Schedule to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908.
