Validating Public Notifications of the Special Order authorizing the Raising of a Loan of £1,400 proposed to be raised by the Council of the County of Waikohu.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this twentieth day of November, 1916.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

Whereas the Waikohu County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of fourteen hundred pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of constructing Semmens Bridge across the Wharekopae River:

And whereas the public notices of the special order authorizing the raising of the above loan, although four publications were made, were not given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the special order was confirmed, inasmuch as no public notice was given in the second week as required by section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908, but notice was given twice in the fourth week:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the said proceedings:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers 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 order and declare that the said public notifications of the special order authorizing the loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been published 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 irregularity aforesaid.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
