pounds under the provisions of the New Zealand State-guaranteed Advances Act, 1909, for the purpose of rebuilding the Stratford-Ohura Road Bridge over the Mangaotuku Stream: And whereas the Chairman of the said Whangamomona County Council did on the thirtieth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twelve, advertise notice of the said poll to be taken on the fifteenth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twelve: And whereas the date fixed in the said notice to take the said poll and the date of the taking of the said poll were more than three weeks from the date of the last publication of the notice aforesaid, contrary to the provisions in that behalf contained in section eleven of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908: And whereas the voting-paper used at the said poll was made out in the form prescribed by the Local Elections and Polls Act, 1908, instead of form one in the Second Schedule to the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities, 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 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 declare that the said notice and the said poll shall be and be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as if the said notice had expired and the said poll had been taken within the three weeks from the date of the said last meeting, and the voting-papers used at such poll had been in the form given in the Second Schedule to the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1908, and that the proceedings relative to such loan of five hundred pounds shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
