ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this fifteenth
day of December, 1919.
Present:
THE HONOURABLE SIR WILLIAM FRASER PRESIDING IN
COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Kaitieke County Council lately pro-
posed to raise a loan of two thousand pounds, under
the provisions of section sixteen (e) of the Local Bodies'
Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of reforming and metalling
portion of the Kaitieke Road:
And whereas the ratepayers' consent given under sub-
section (e) of section sixteen aforesaid is irregular, inasmuch
that one of the subscribing ratepayers has witnessed the
signatures of other subscribers thereto:
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 order
and declare that the proceedings taken to raise the said loan
shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the rate-
payers' consent to the raising of the loan had been properly
witnessed, and that the proceedings shall not be called into
question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.
F. W. FURBY.
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
