posal, in that the term of the said loan (namely, thirty-six

hundred and eleven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913,
and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Exe-
cutive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby declare
that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall
be valid to all intents and purposes as though the term of
the said loan had been stated in the said notice and voting-
paper, and that the proceedings shall not be called into
question by reason only of the irregularity or defect aforesaid.
