ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House, at Wellington, this thirteenth day of January, 1913.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Karaka Road Board lately proposed to raise a loan of six thousand pounds under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908, for road-making;
And whereas the public notification of the intention to raise the loan, although published once in each week for four successive weeks, was not published in one newspaper as required by section eight of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908, but was published partly in two newspapers:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, 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, 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 declare that the said public notification shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been properly published, and that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
