    Present :
    THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING
    IN COUNCIL.
    WHEREAS the Mount Albert Borough Council lately
    proceeded to raise a loan of one hundred thousand
    pounds, under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, for the
    purpose of purchasing plant and for street improvements:
    And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said
    loan were irregular, in that the poll of ratepayers was not
    taken not less than one week after the day of the last publi-
    cation of the notice of intention to raise the loan, as required
    by subsection two of section ten of the Local Bodies' Loans
    Act, 1913:
    And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district
    have not been misled by such irregularity as aforesaid, 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,

    Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby order
    and declare that the proceedings in connection with the said
    loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the
    said poll of ratepayers had been taken at the proper time,
    and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with
    the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only
    of the irregularity aforesaid.

    Clerk of the Executive Council.
