HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Horowhenua 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 six hundred pounds for the purpose of
re-forming and metalling the Ohau East Road :

And whereas the ratepayers’ consent given under para-
graph (e) of section sixteen aforesaid is irregular, in that a
subscribing ratepayer has attested the signatures of the 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 Execu-
tive 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.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
