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

WHEREAS the Akito County Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, lately proposed to raise a loan of twelve thousand pounds for the purpose of metalling and culverting the Glenora Road:

And whereas section ten of the said Act provides that the poll of ratepayers shall be taken not less than one nor more than three weeks after the day of the last publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan:

And whereas the poll of ratepayers was taken within one week after the day of the last publication of the notice of intention to raise the loan, inasmuch as the last publication of the said notice appeared in the issue of the Dannevirke Evening News dated the fifteenth day of January, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, and the poll of ratepayers was held on the nineteenth 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 though the poll of ratepayers had been taken 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 or defect aforesaid.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
