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 the deposit of the special roll :

And whereas the public notification was not given on the first day of the deposit as required by number two of the aforesaid regulations, 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 :

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 declare that the said proceedings shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said roll had been legally deposited, and public notification thereof and of all matters in connection therewith 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 irregularities aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
