JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 11th day of July, 1921.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the New Plymouth Borough Council lately proposed to raise a loan of sixty thousand pounds, under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of providing additions and extensions to the Council’s electric lighting and power works:

And whereas section nine of the said Act provides that a notice setting forth the proposal to raise the loan shall be published once in each week for four successive weeks:

And whereas the notice setting forth the proposal to raise the loan was not published once in each week for four successive weeks, inasmuch that the said notices were published in the Taranaki Herald on the third and eighth, fifteenth and twenty-second days of November, one thousand nine hundred and twenty:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such 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 to raise the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the notice of proposal to raise the loan had been published in the manner prescribed in section nine aforesaid, 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.

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