Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £500 to be raised by the Featherston County Council.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 21st day of April, 1921.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE SIR F. H. D. BELL, K.C.M.G., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Featherston County Council, acting under and in pursuance of section sixteen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, lately proposed to raise a loan of five hundred pounds for the purpose of metalling the Hikawera Road for the first time:

And whereas section seventeen of the said Act requires the special roll to be deposited not less than seven days before any steps are taken under section sixteen of the said Act:

And whereas the special roll was not deposited until the twelfth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, while the special order authorizing the raising of the loan was passed on the fourteenth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the said irregularity or defect, 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 shall be valid to all intents and purposes as if the provisions of section seventeen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, had been correctly complied with, 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 or defect aforesaid.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
