Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £2,000 proposed to be raised by the Elstow Drainage Board.

ROBERT STOUT.
Administrator of the Government.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 26th day of July, 1920.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Elstow Drainage Board, 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 drainage-works within the Waihou Special Drainage Area of the Elstow Drainage District:

And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of the said loan is irregular, in so far that public notification of the time and place fixed for the confirmation of the said special order was given four times, but such notification did not comply with the provisions of section ninety-seven of the Counties Act, 1908, which provides that notification shall be given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting was held, no notice appearing within the second week immediately preceding the ninth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty :

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 Administrator of the Government 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 public notifications of the special order had been given in the proper manner, 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. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
