ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twentieth
day of September, 1915.
Present:
His Excellency The Governor in Council.
WHEREAS the County Cook Council (hereinafter referred
to as “the said Council”) lately proposed
to raise a loan of four hundred pounds for the purpose of
metalling the Ngatapa-Wharekopae Road, under the Local
Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913:
And whereas a resolution purporting to operate as a special
order authorizing the raising of the above loan under section
sixteen of the above-mentioned Act was passed at a special
meeting of the said Council held on Friday, the eighteenth
day of June, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen:
And whereas, in accordance with the provisions of section
ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908, public notice of such
resolution, and of the intention of the said Council to confirm
such resolution at a meeting thereof to be held on the fourth
day of August, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, was
duly given on the eighth, fifteenth, twenty-second, and
twenty-ninth days of July in the said year:
And whereas, owing to a quorum of the said Council not
being present on the said fourth day of August, one thousand
nine hundred and fifteen, the meeting to confirm such resolution
could not be held on such date:
And whereas such resolution was duly confirmed at a postponed
meeting of the said Council held on the twentieth day
of August of the said year, and public notice of the date of
such postponed meeting was given on the ninth and sixteenth
days of August in the said year:
And whereas the special order so made by the passing and
confirming of such resolution was irregularly made—firstly,
in that such postponed meeting to confirm the said resolution
was held sixteen days after the said fourth day of August,
instead of within the time prescribed by sections eighty-four
and eighty-five of the Counties Act, 1908; and, secondly,
in that public notice of the place and date of the meeting
for confirmation and of such resolution was not given in
the third last week (namely, between the thirtieth day of
July and the fifth day of August) before the said twentieth
day of August in the said year:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by such irregularities or defects, 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 power
and authority 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 validate the said special
order and the proceedings in connection with the making
thereof; and doth declare that the said special order and the
proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called
in question by reason only of the irregularities or defects
aforesaid.

duly given:
And whereas, owing to a quorum of the said Council not
being present on the said fourth day of August, one thousand
nine hundred and fifteen, the meeting to confirm such resolution
could not be held on such date:
And whereas such resolution was duly confirmed at a postponed

the same:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion

LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this twentieth
day of September, 1915.
Present:
His Excellency The Governor in Council.
WHEREAS the Southland County Council lately proposed
to raise a loan of six hundred pounds for reforming and metalling
certain roads in the Otara Special-rating District, under
the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and its amendments:
And whereas irregularities or defects occurred both in the
notice published in pursuance of section eight of the said Act
and in the voting-paper used at the poll upon the said proposal,
in that though the proposed security for such loan and the provision
for repayment thereof were stated to be a special rate over
all the rateable property within the special-rating district, the
amount of such rate (namely, one-fifth of one penny in the
pound on the rateable value, on the basis of the unimproved
value, of all rateable property within the said rating area)
was not set forth in such notice and voting-paper:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by such irregularity or defect, 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
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
