LIVERPOOL, Governor-General
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this twenty-second day of April, 1919.

Present:
THE HONOURABLE SIR JAMES ALLEN, K.C.B., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Hauraki Drainage Board lately proposed to raise a loan of five thousand pounds, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of widening, deepening, erecting floodgates, and improving existing watercourses and drains, and for constructing new watercourses and drains:

And whereas twenty-four days intervened between the last publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan prescribed by section nine of the said Act and the date on which the poll of the ratepayers upon the said proposal was taken, instead of a period of not more than three weeks as required by subsection two of section ten of the said Act:

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 requirements 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 irregularity or defect aforesaid.

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

Present:
THE HONOURABLE SIR JAMES ALLEN, K.C.B., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Kairanga 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 two thousand pounds for the purpose of completing the construction of a water-race for the supply of water to the inhabitants of the Fitzherbert West Water-race District.

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 other subscribers thereto:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the said 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 order and declare that the ratepayers’ consent to the raising of the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been properly witnessed, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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