proposed to be raised by the Board of the Tahunanui Town
District.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 28th day of
July, 1924.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Tahunanui Town Board, acting under
and in pursuance of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act,
1913, proposes to raise a loan of five hundred pounds for
sanitary works:

And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of
the loan is irregular in so far that the public notification of
the time and place fixed for the confirmation of the said
special order, although given four times, did not comply
with the provisions of section three of the Town Board’s
Amendment Act, 1910:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularity, 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 public
notification of the special order had been correctly given,
and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with
the said loan shall not be called into question by reason of
the irregularity aforesaid.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.

Bannockburn irrigation-works:

And whereas section seventeen of the said Act requires
the special roll to be deposited not less than seven days
before any steps are taken under section sixteen (e):

And whereas the special roll of the ratepayers was not
deposited not less than seven days before the written consent
of the ratepayers was obtained:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularity or defect, 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
provisions of section seventeen had been properly 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 irregularity or defect aforesaid.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
