And whereas by section forty of the Reserves and other Lands Disposal and Public Bodies Empowering Act, 1913, further provision was made as to the raising of the said loan:
And whereas the Board has taken steps to raise the said loan of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds, to be called “the Wanganui Harbour Board Port Development Loan of £150,000”:
And whereas by section ten, subsection two, of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, it is provided that the first publication by the Chairman of any local authority taking a poll of the notice prescribed under that subsection, setting forth the date on which such poll shall be taken, shall be made not less than fourteen (14) days before the said date:
And whereas it is provided by section forty-one of the Local Elections and Polls Act, 1908, that not less than fourteen (14) clear days before any poll on a proposal to be submitted to the electors entitled to vote thereon the Returning Officer shall give public notice thereof:
And whereas the first publication by the Chairman of the Board of the notice that a poll would be taken on the twenty-ninth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, on the proposal to raise the said loan was made on the fifteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, being one day too late:
And whereas the Returning Officer at such poll gave public notice on the sixteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, being two days too late:
And whereas such poll was taken on the twenty-ninth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, when one thousand five hundred and sixty-eight ratepayers voted in favour of such proposal and sixty-one ratepayers voted against the same, and such proposal was duly declared to be carried:
And whereas the form of voting-paper used at the said poll was in the form prescribed by the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, but omitted to mention the day on which the poll would be taken, as required by that Act:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers entitled to vote at such poll were not misled by such irregularities, and it is expedient to validate the same:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers conferred by section one hundred and eleven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and section twenty-four of the Local Elections and Polls Amendment 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 shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the first publication of such notice by the Chairman and the public notice by the Returning Officer of such poll had been made not less than fourteen days before the date of such poll, and as though the voting-paper used at the said poll was in the correct form and had stated the day on which the poll was to be taken; and that the proceedings relative to such loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.
