Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £2,500 proposed to be raised by the Lower Mangapiko Drainage Board.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 6th day of March, 1924.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Lower Mangapiko Drainage Board proposes to raise a loan of two thousand five hundred pounds under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, for the purpose of reconstructing portion of the Mangapiko Stream and for making, widening, deepening, and improving drains within the Te Rahu Special-rating Area :

And whereas section nine of the said Act provides that a notice setting forth the proposal to raise the loan shall be published once in each week for four successive weeks :

And whereas the notice setting forth the proposal to raise the loan, although published four times, was not published once in each week for four successive weeks :

And whereas the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers upon the said proposal was in the form numbered six in the Second Schedule to the Local Elections and Polls Act, 1908, instead of in the form numbered one in the First Schedule to the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913 :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such 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 to raise the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the notice of proposal to raise the loan had been published in the proper manner and as though the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers had been in the proper form, 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.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
