Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £5,000 proposed to be raised by the Council of the County of Whangaroa.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this seventeenth day of November, 1919.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Whangaroa County Council lately proposed to raise a loan of five thousand pounds, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of forming and metalling portions of the main road passing through the county:

And whereas section ten, subsection two, of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, provides that the poll of ratepayers shall be taken not less than one nor more than three weeks after the day of the last publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan:

And whereas section ten, subsection four, of the said Act provides that the voting-paper shall contain full particulars of the notice of intention to raise the loan, or a statement giving the purpose and effect of that notice:

And whereas certain irregularities or defects occurred in the proceedings taken in connection with the said loan, in that the poll of the ratepayers upon the said proposal was taken within one week after the day of the last publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan, and in that the voting-paper placed before the ratepayers did not contain full particulars of the notice of intention to raise the loan or a statement giving the purpose and effect of that notice:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularities or defects, 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 requirements of subsections two and four of section ten of the said Act as above mentioned had been strictly complied with, and that the proceedings shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.

F. W. FURBY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
