to be raised by the Mount Eden Borough Council.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 12th day of
September, 1921.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS the Mount Eden Borough Council, acting
under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans
Act, 1913, proposed to raise a loan of one hundred and thirty-
five thousand pounds for the purpose of carrying out drainage-
works :

And whereas the notices of intention to raise the loan
are irregular, inasmuch as they were published partly in one
newspaper and partly in another instead of wholly in one
newspaper as required by section nine of the said Act :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularity or defect, and it is expedient
to validate 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 nine 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.

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-nine of the Counties
Act, 1920, which provides that notification shall be given
once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day
on which the subsequent meeting was so held, no notice appear-
ing within the week immediately preceding the seventh day
of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularities, and it is expedient to validate
the same :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of

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

that the proceedings taken to raise the said loan shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as though the provisions
of section seventeen had been properly complied with, and as
though the public notifications of the special order had been
given in the proper manner, and that the validity of the pro-
ceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called
into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects
aforesaid.
