And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of the 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 upon which the subsequent meeting was held, no notice appearing within the week immediately preceding the twelfth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty :
