Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £6,000
proposed to be raised by the Council of the County of Egmont.

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

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Egmont County Council lately proposed
to raise a loan of six thousand pounds, under the
provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and the
amendments thereof, for the purpose of constructing bridges
and culverts in the Oeo and Rahotu Ridings of the Egmont
County :

And whereas the provisions of the above-mentioned Act
were not complied with, inasmuch as the poll of ratepayers
on the proposal was taken on the twenty-fifth day instead of
on a day not more than three weeks from the date of the last
publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan as
required by section eleven of the said Act and the amend-
ments thereto :

And whereas the form of voting-paper used at the said
poll of ratepayers was in the form prescribed by the Local
Elections and Polls Act, 1908, instead of in the form numbered
one in the Second Schedule to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act,
1908 :

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 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 Ex-
eutive Council of the said Dominion, doth validate the said
proceedings ; and doth hereby declare that the proceedings
taken in connection with the said loan shall be valid to all
intents and purposes as though the said poll had been taken
within the time prescribed by the said section, eleven as
amended by section three (2) of the Local Bodies’ Loans
Amendment Act, 1910, and as though the voting-paper used
had been printed in the proper form, and that the proceedings
relative to such loan shall not be called into question by
reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

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

Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £850
proposed to be raised by the Mount Wellington Road Board.

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

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Mount Wellington Road Board lately
proposed to raise a loan of £850 for providing its
proportion of the cost of rebuilding the Panmure Bridge over
the Tamaki River, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913 :

And whereas the public notifications of the special order
authorizing the raising of the loan, although published four
times, were not published once in each of the four weeks
immediately preceding the day on which the special order
was to be confirmed as required by section seventy-two (c) of
the Road Boards Act, 1908 :

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
Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers 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 validate the said proceedings ; and doth
hereby order and declare that the said public notifications
of the special order authorizing the loan shall be valid to all
intents and purposes, as though the same had been published
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 £16,500
for the Purpose of augmenting and extending the Existing
Water-supply of the Borough of Masterton, and (b) a Loan
of £10,000 for erecting Municipal Buildings.

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

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Masterton Borough Council did on the
fifth day of March, one thousand nine hundred and
fourteen, take a poll of the ratepayers on each of the following
proposals, namely :

(a.) To raise a loan of sixteen thousand five hundred pounds
for the purpose of augmenting and extending the existing
water-supply of the Borough of Masterton ; and, in pur-
suance thereof and in connection therewith, to lay down and
construct an eighteen-inch main from the lower intake to the
existing reservoir ; to lay down and construct a twelve-inch
carrying main from the said reservoir to the junction of
Pownall Street and Renall Street within the said borough ;
to lay down and construct or extend water-mains in or to
such roads or streets within the said borough as are not now
served by the existing water-supply ; and generally to carry
out and construct all such works as may be deemed necessary
to complete the reticulation of the said borough for the
purposes of water-supply : and

(b.) To raise a loan of ten thousand pounds for the purpose
of erecting municipal buildings :

And whereas such proposals were duly declared to be carried,
and the steps required to be taken by sections eight to twelve
(both inclusive) of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, have
been duly taken, and the provisions of such sections duly
complied with, but the public notices and voting-papers
referred to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and its amend-
ments and sections, instead of to the Local Bodies’ Loans
Act, 1913 : And whereas it appears that the ratepayers
entitled to vote at such poll were not misled by such irregu-
larity, 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 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 said poll and the
proceedings in connection therewith are validated, and shall
be valid to all intents and purposes ; and that the proceedings
in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question
by reason only of the fact that the said public notices and
voting-papers referred to the raising of the said loan under
the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and its amendments,
instead of under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913.

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