ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 25th day of March, 1922.
Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Onehunga Borough Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act. 1913, proposes to raise a loan of four thousand seven hundred pounds for drainage works:
And whereas the public notices relating to the special order appeared partly in one newspaper and partly in another instead of wholly in one newspaper:
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 notices relating to the special order had been correctly advertised, 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.
F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
