HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Omaka Road Board, acting under and in pursuance of section sixteen (a) of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, lately proposed to raise by special order a loan of one thousand pounds for the purpose of repaying a special loan raised by the Board for the purpose of paying the Board’s contribution for the erection of a new hospital by the Wairau Hospital Board:

And whereas section seventy-two (c) of the Road Boards Act, 1908, provides that public notice of the time and place fixed for the subsequent meeting at which any special order is to be confirmed shall be given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting is to be held:

And whereas public notice was not given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the subsequent meeting was held, inasmuch as the last publication of the said notice appeared in the issue of the Marlborough Express dated the first day of July, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, and the subsequent meeting was held on the fourteenth day of July, 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 subsequent meeting had been held at the proper time, 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.
