Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £1,200
proposed to be raised by the Borough of Port Chalmers.
LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twenty-seventh
day of October, 1914.
Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.
WHEREAS the Port Chalmers Borough Council lately
proposed to raise a loan of one thousand two hundred
pounds, under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, for
the purpose of improving and extending the Corporation
waterworks by the purchase of land and otherwise:
And whereas irregularities or defects have occurred in the
steps taken to raise such loan, inasmuch as the voting-paper
and the notices of the intention to raise the said loan which
were published in accordance with section nine of the said
Act state that the loan is to be repaid by half-yearly instal-
ments extending over a period of thirty-six years, instead of
over a period of thirty-six years and a half:
And whereas one notice only of the date on which the poll
was to be taken was published in the newspaper circulating
in the district, instead of not less than four of such notices as
required by section ten, subsection two, of the said Act:
And whereas the notice hereinbefore mentioned of the date
of the poll was published by the Returning Officer instead of
by the Mayor of the borough, as required by section ten,
subsection two, of the said Act:
And whereas the Council of the Borough of Port Chalmers
has passed a resolution striking and levying a rate to secure
the above loan, and published a copy of such resolution on
page 3691 of the New Zealand Gazette, one thousand nine
hundred and fourteen:
And whereas the period of repayment is therein stated as
thirty-six years and a half, or until the loan is fully paid off:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the above-recited 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 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 order and
declare that the steps taken to obtain the loan shall be valid
to all intents and purposes as though the currency of the loan
had therein been stated as thirty-six years and a half, and
as though the public notices herein referred to had been
given at least four times, in accordance with the said section
ten, subsection two; and, further, as though the publication
of the date of the poll had been made in the proper manner;
and that the proceedings relative to such loan shall not be
called in question by reason only of the irregularities afore-said.
J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £350
proposed to be raised by the Board of the Upper Hutt Town
District.
LIVERPOOL, Governor
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twenty-seventh
day of October, 1914.
Present:
His Excellency the Governor in Council.
WHEREAS the Upper Hutt Town Board lately proposed
to raise a loan of three hundred and fifty pounds, to
provide funds for the equipment of a fire brigade, under the
Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913:
And whereas the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers
taken in respect of the said loan was not in the form numbered
one set forth in the First Schedule to the Local Bodies' Loans
Act, 1913, as required by paragraph four of section ten of the
said Act:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by such irregularity, and that 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 and authorities vested in 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 validate the voting-paper
so used as aforesaid, and doth hereby order and declare that
the proceedings with reference to the said loan shall be and
shall be deemed to have been as good, valid, and effectual as
though the said voting-paper had been in the prescribed form.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
