WHEREAS the Waipa County Council lately proceeded to raise a loan of one thousand three hundred pounds, under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of acquiring, dedicating, forming, and metalling roads in an area of the Waipa County to be known as the Horotiu Special Rating Area:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular, in that public notice of the special order authorizing the raising of the loan, although given four times, was not given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the meeting was held for the purpose of confirming the resolution to make that special order, as required by section ninety-nine of the Counties Act, 1920:

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, 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 in connection with the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said public notice had been correctly given, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question by reason of the irregularity aforesaid.
