Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of Four thousand five hundred and fifteen Pounds (£4,515) proposed to be raised by the Ekatahuna County Council.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 16th day of October, 1923.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Ekatahuna County Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, proposes to raise a loan of four thousand five hundred and fifteen pounds (£4,515) for the purpose of purchasing roadmaking machinery and the erection of housing for same:

And whereas the notices of intention to raise the loan are irregular inasmuch as, although they were published in a newspaper four times, they were not published once in each week for four successive weeks as required by section nine of the said Act:

And whereas the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers upon the said proposal pursuant to section ten of the said Act does not contain full particulars of the notice mentioned in section nine of the said Act inasmuch as a statement is not made as to whether or not it is proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year, although such a statement is made in the notice of intention to raise the loan as published in the newspaper:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the said irregularities or defects, 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 provisions of sections nine and ten of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, had been correctly complied with, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 16th day of October, 1923.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Masterton Borough Council (hereinafter referred to as “the Council”), pursuant to the provisions of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, and the Local Bodies' Finance Act, 1921–22, lately proceeded by way of special order to raise a special loan of £14,999 (to be known as the Masterton Borough Council Antecedent Liability Loan, 1923, of £14,999) for the purpose of extinguishing the antecedent liability of the Council under the said Local Bodies' Finance Act, 1921–22:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular in respect of the matters hereinafter appearing—that is to say, (a) the resolution of the Council pursuant to subsection one of section sixty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), calling a special meeting of the Council omitted to state the place at which that meeting was to be held (viz., the Council Chambers, Chapel Street, Masterton); (b) the said resolution, although stating that the special meeting was to be held “for the purpose of passing certain resolutions re antecedent-liability loan,” omitted to specify fully the business to be brought before that meeting; (c) the notice in writing of such special meeting sent to every member of the Council pursuant to subsection two of section sixty-two of the said Act, although stating that the business of that meeting was “to pass certain resolutions to the borough's antecedent-liability loan,” omitted to specify fully the business to be brought before that meeting:

And whereas it is expedient to validate the said irregularities hereinbefore appearing:

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 three hundred and seventy-nine of the said Act, and of every other power and authority enabling him in this behalf, 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 steps prescribed by section sixty-two of the said Act had been correctly taken, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
