Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £18,424 proposed to be raised by the Council of the County of Ohura.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this eleventh day of October, 1915.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Ohura County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of eighteen thousand four hundred and twenty-four pounds for metalling the Waitehena and Haparua Road from the Ohura Main Road to the county boundary, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913:

And whereas the special roll was not deposited for public inspection in accordance with the provisions of the above-mentioned Act 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the proceedings to raise the loan, though taken under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, refer to and recite the repealed measure—the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1908, and the amendments thereto:

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 validate the said proceedings, and doth hereby declare that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.
