LIVERPOOL, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this twenty-first day of August, 1916.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Whakatane County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of seven hundred pounds, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of providing part of the money to be spent in constructing the portion of Whakatane Inland Road taken control of by the said Council:

And whereas the public notices of the special order authorizing the raising of the above loan 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 fourth week as required by section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908:

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 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 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.
