WHEREAS by section eight of the Bay of Islands Harbour Act, 1920, the Bay of Islands Harbour Board (hereinafter called “the Board”) is empowered to borrow moneys not exceeding fifty thousand pounds for the erection or completion of harbour-works within the meaning of the Harbours Act, 1908 :
And whereas by section sixteen of the said Act the Board is empowered to purchase from His Majesty the King the railway-wharf at Opua, and such part of the railway reserve at Opua appurtenant to such wharf as may be agreed upon between the Board and His Majesty the King acting by and through the Minister of Railways, at such price and on such terms and conditions not exceeding the sum of ten thousand pounds as may be agreed upon between the parties aforesaid:
And whereas on the fifteenth day of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one, the Board, acting under and in pursuance of the Bay of Islands Harbour Act, 1920, and the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, held a poll of ratepayers of the Bay of Islands Harbour District on a proposal to borrow the sum of forty thousand pounds for the following objects : (a) For the purchase of the railway-wharf and part railway reserve at Opua, the sum of ten thousand pounds ; (b) for the extension of the said wharf, the sum of twenty-five thousand pounds; and (c) for the erection of buildings, purchase of equipment, and contingencies, the sum of five thousand pounds :
And whereas doubt has arisen as to the sufficiency in law of the powers of the Board to borrow moneys for the first oi such objects, and as to the validity of the said poll as to the objects (b) and (c) above referred to :
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 and the said proceedings in so far as the said poll purports to authorize the Board to borrow moneys for the objects (b) and (c) above specified :
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 in so far as they relate to the authority of the Board to borrow moneys for the objects (b) and (c) hereinbefore specified, 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.
