MAY 28.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 2213

April following, a regulation was made providing that public notice of any election to fill any vacancy on any Harbour Board for a combined district shall be given not less than twenty-one clear days before such election, and the date for the nomination of candidates shall be not less than fourteen clear days before such election :

And whereas public notice of an election of one member of the New Plymouth Harbour Board, as a representative of the combined district of those parts of the Counties of Eltham and Hawera included in the New Plymouth Harbour District, was given within the time prescribed in the said regulation, but through an error the date of the nomination of candidates for the said election was given by the Returning Officer for the election as ten days, instead of fourteen days, before the date of such election :

And whereas Jacob Marx, being the only candidate for the said election nominated within the time prescribed by the Returning Officer, was declared by the Returning Officer to be duly elected to be a member of the said Board as a representative of the said combined district, and it is desirable to validate such election :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby validate the election of Jacob Marx to be a member of the New Plymouth Harbour Board, as a representative of the combined district of those parts of the Counties of Eltham and Hawera included in the New Plymouth Harbour District.
