proposed to be raised by the Council of the Borough of
Hastings.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twelfth day
of October, 1914.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Hastings Borough Council lately pro-
posed to raise a loan of twenty-nine thousand three
hundred pounds (£29,300) for the erection of the municipal
theatre, offices, shops, hall, &c., under the Local Bodies’
Loans Act, 1913:

And whereas four notices setting forth the day on which
the poll of the ratepayers was to be taken were published in
the newspaper circulating in the district, but the first of the
aforesaid notices was published thirteen days instead of not
less than fourteen days before the date of the poll, as re-
quired by section ten, subsection two, of the Local Bodies’
Loans Act, 1913:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the
same:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers and authorities conferred on him by section one
hundred and eleven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby declare that the
proceedings in connection with the said poll of ratepayers
shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said
notifications of the date of the poll had been legally given in
the proper manner, and that the proceedings in connection
with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason
only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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

Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £29,500
proposed to be raised by the Mount Albert Road Board.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twelfth day of
October, 1914.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Mount Albert Road Board lately pro-
posed to raise a loan of twenty-nine thousand five
hundred pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913,
for the purpose of constructing portion of the New North
Road, New Edendale Road, &c., for the extension of the water-
supply, and for other purposes set out and enumerated in
the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers held on the
said proposal:

And whereas the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act,
1913, were not strictly complied with, inasmuch as the notice
of intention to raise the loan, although published four times,
was not published once in each week for four successive
weeks as required by section nine of the said Act:

And whereas the public notifications setting forth the day
on which the poll was to be taken were published by the Town
Clerk and Returning Officer instead of being published by the
Mayor as required by section ten, subsection two, of the said
Act:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by such irregularities, and it is expedient to validate
the said proceedings:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers conferred on him by section one hundred and eleven
of the above Act, and acting by and with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth
hereby declare that the said public notifications of the
intention to raise the loan and of the date of the poll shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had
been published in the proper manner, and that the proceed-
ings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into
question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

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