LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this nineteenth day of November, 1917.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Patea County Council, acting under and in pursuance of paragraph (e) of section sixteen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, lately proposed to raise a loan of three hundred and seventy pounds for the purpose of metalling Clifford Road:

And whereas the special roll of the ratepayers, although deposited for public inspection, was not deposited in accordance with the provisions of the above-mentioned Act and the regulations made thereunder, inasmuch as the said roll was not deposited for public inspection not less than seven days before any steps were taken to raise the loan as required by section seventeen of the said Act:

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

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General 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 proceedings taken to raise the said loan in so far as the validity of these proceedings may be affected by the failure to deposit the special roll at the proper time; and doth hereby declare that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

And whereas the resolution making and levying the special rate as security for the said loan is irregular in that such resolution was passed before the special order authorizing the raising of the loan was gazetted as required by section seventy-three of the Road Boards Act, 1908:

And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of the said loan, although published once in each of four weeks, was not published once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting to confirm the said special order was held, as required by section seventy-two of the Road Boards Act, 1908:

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

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General 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 order and declare that the resolution making and levying the special rate as security for the said loan and the said special order shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said resolution had been passed at the proper time, and the said special order had been properly published, and that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General 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 order and declare that the ratepayers’ consent to the raising of the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been properly witnessed, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
