ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this eighth day of June, 1914.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Waitomo County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of six hundred pounds for widening, culverting, and metalling the Mangakowhai Road, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and its amendments: And whereas the special roll was not deposited for public inspection in accordance with the provisions of the above-mentioned Acts and the regulations thereunder, inasmuch as in the public notification of the deposit the time within which objections to the special roll would be received was erroneously stated to be within seven days from the first day of the deposit of the special roll, instead of within seven days from the last day of deposit of the special roll: And whereas the said public notification was not given on the first day of the deposit of the roll as required by number two of the regulations aforesaid, but was given on the day following such deposit: And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, and it is expedient to validate the said proceedings:
