proposed to be raised by the Kaitieke County Council.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this eleventh day
of November, 1918.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Kaitieke County Council lately proposed
to raise a loan of one thousand five hundred pounds,
under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of
re-forming and metalling portion of main road, Raurimu Town-
ship:

And whereas the public notices of the special order au-
thorizing the raising of the loan, although four publications
were made, were not given once in each of the four weeks
immediately preceding the day on which the special order
was confirmed, inasmuch as no public notice was given in
the first week, as required by section ninety-seven of the
Counties Act, 1908:

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 declare
that the proceedings taken to raise the said loan shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as though the requirements
of section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908, had been
strictly complied with, and that the proceedings in connec-
tion with the said loan shall not be called into question by
reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

the powers and authorities conferred on him by section one
