JELLICOE, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 3rd day of November, 1922.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Auckland Electric-power Board lately proceeded to raise a loan of six hundred thousand pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the extension and equipment of the existing electric-power station and plant and other purposes set out in the notice published pursuant to section nine of the said Act:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular, in that the proposed security for the said loan was not set forth in full in the said notice as required by paragraph (c) of said section nine:

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 proposed security had been fully set out in the said notice, 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.
