LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this twenty-third day of July, 1917.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Waitomo County Council did on the twenty-ninth day of August, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, pursuant to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, take a poll of the ratepayers of the Mangaotaki Special-rating Area within the said county on a proposal of the said Council to raise a loan of four thousand five hundred and sixty pounds (£4,560), for the purpose of the completion of the formation and the widening, culverting, and metalling of the Miroahua-Mangaotaki Road from its junction with the Mairoa Road to its junction with the Mahoenui-Kawhia Road, and also the Mahoenui-Kawhia Road from the northern boundary of Puketiti No. 1 to the southern corner of Section 16, Block VI, Maungamangero Survey District, and also the Upper Mangaotaki Road from its junction with the Mahoenui-Kawhia Road to the south-east corner of Section 9, Block VI, Maungamangero Survey District, and also the Kihikihi Road from its junction with the Miroahua-Mangaotaki Road to the south-eastern corner of Section 12, Block VII, Maungamangero Survey District; and also for forming and culverting only the road passing through Kino-haku East No. 4H 4 and No. 4H 5 from its junction with the Miroahua-Mangaotaki Road to the eastern boundary of Puketiti No. 5, and also for building a bridge over the Mangaotaki River on the Miroahua-Mangaotaki Road, being the Council’s share of a joint loan of ten thousand pounds (£10,000) proposed to be raised by the said county in conjunction with the Awakino County Council :

And whereas the said poll and the poll taken by the Awakino County Council relating to the said proposed loan were both duly carried, and the Waitomo County Council (being the principal local authority) is desirous of borrowing the said sum of ten thousand pounds (£10,000) so authorized as aforesaid :

And whereas certain irregularities or defects occurred in the proceedings taken by the Waitomo County Council previous to the said poll, in that the notice issued by the said last-mentioned county pursuant to section nine of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, did not set forth that the provision for repayment of the said loan was to be a sinking fund of one pound per centum per annum on the amount of the said loan, payable half-yearly, and also in that the proposed security for repayment of the share of the said Waitomo County Council of the said joint loan being an annually recurring special rate of one penny and three-eighths of a penny in the pound sterling (on the capital value) of all rateable property in the Mangaotaki Special-rating Area within the Waitomo County, the voting-paper used by the said last-mentioned Council at such poll showed the said security to be an annually recurring special rate of twopence and three-sixteenths of a penny in the pound (upon the unimproved value) of all rateable property in the Mangaotaki Special-rating Area within the Waitomo County :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the said special area have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, and it is expedient to validate the said proceedings :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers and authorities conferred upon 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 declare that all proceedings in connection with the poll taken by the Waitomo County Council relating to the said joint loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said notice had contained all matters required to be published by section nine of the said Act and the said voting-paper had shown the security for repayment of the sum proposed to be borrowed by the Waitomo County Council as being an annually recurring special rate of one penny and three-eighths of a penny in the pound sterling (on the capital value) of all rateable property in the Mangaotaki Special-rating Area within the Waitomo County, and that the said proceedings shall not be called into question by reason only of the said irregularities or defects
