ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this tenth day of

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Cook County Council lately proposed to
raise a loan of two hundred pounds, under the Local
Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of metalling West-
mere Road: And whereas the special roll of the ratepayers
interested was not prepared, completed, and deposited for
public inspection before any steps were taken to raise the
loan, as required by section seventeen of the above-mentioned
Act: And whereas it appears that the said ratepayers have
not been misled by such irregularity or defect, and it is
expedient to validate the aforesaid proceedings:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
powers conferred 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 validate the proceedings taken to raise the
above loan; and doth hereby declare that the said proceed-
ing shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the
same had been carried out in the proper manner, and that the
proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be
called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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