ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this seventh day of May, 1919.

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

WHEREAS the Raetihi Town Board lately proposed to raise a loan of one thousand pounds, under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of completing the construction of the water-supply and sewage works:

And whereas an irregularity or defect occurred both in the notice published in pursuance of section nine of the said Act and 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 notice and 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 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 by 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 notice and voting-paper, and as though the requirements of subsection two 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.
