and in pursuance of section sixteen (e) of the Local
Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, lately proposed to raise a loan of
five hundred pounds for the purpose of metalling the Moutere
Inlet Road :

And whereas the ratepayers’ consent given under section
sixteen (e) aforesaid is irregular, in that two of the sub-
scribing ratepayers have attested the signatures of other
subscribers thereto :

And whereas the said ratepayers have not been in any way
misled by the said irregularity, and it is expedient that the
irregularity should be validated :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-
minion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the
power conferred on him by section one hundred and eleven

of the said Dominion, doth hereby order and declare that
the ratepayers’ consent shall be valid to all intents and pur-
poses as though the signatures to the same had been properly
witnessed, and that the validity of the proceedings in con-
nection with the said loan shall not be called into question
by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
