LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this seventeenth day of December, 1918.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Waipawa 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 five hundred pounds for the purpose of reconstructing the Lindsay Water-race :

And whereas the public notices of the special order authorizing 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 fourth week, as required by section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908 :

And whereas the ratepayers’ consent given under paragraph (e) of section sixteen aforesaid is irregular, in that one of the subscribing ratepayers has attested the signatures of the other subscribers thereto :

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 proceedings taken to raise the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the public notifications of the special order authorizing the raising of the loan had been given in the proper manner and as though the ratepayers’ consent to the raising of the loan had been properly witnessed, and that the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

And whereas an irregularity or defect occurred in the voting-paper used at the poll upon the said proposal, in that the term of the said loan (namely, thirty-six years and a half) was not set forth in such voting-paper :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity or defect, 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 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 voting-paper, and that the proceedings shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
