WHEREAS the Cook County Council lately proposed to

under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of
enlarging and extending the Muhunga Drain:
And whereas an irregularity or defect occurred in the
voting-paper used at the poll upon the said proposal, in that
the intention to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan
was not set forth in such voting-paper:
And whereas the first publication of the date of the poll of
the ratepayers upon the said proposal was not made not less
than fourteen days before the date of the said poll, as required
by subsection two of section ten of the above-named Act:
And whereas six days intervened between the last publica-
tion of the notice of intention to raise the loan prescribed

of section ten of the above-named Act:

forth in the said voting-paper, and as though the require-
ments of section ten of the said Act as above mentioned had
been strictly complied with, and that the proceedings in
connection with the said loan shall not be called into question
by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.
