HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Petone Borough Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920, the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and their respective amendments, and every other authority in that behalf it enabling, proceeded to raise a special loan of nine thousand two hundred pounds for the purpose of paying off the Petone Borough Council New Hutt Bridges Loan 1912 Redemption Loan, 1918, of five thousand one hundred and fifty pounds and the Petone Borough Council Beach Improvements Loan of 1914 of five thousand pounds:

And whereas by a resolution passed at a properly constituted meeting of the said Council held on the twenty-eighth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, the said Council, in pursuance of the powers in that behalf vested in it by the said recited Acts, made and levied (for the purpose of providing the interest, sinking fund, and other charges on the said special loan) the special rate particularly set forth in the said resolution now in recital:

And whereas the debentures of the said Council purporting to pledge the said special rate as security for the purpose last above mentioned bear date the twenty-eighth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, but the resolution making the said special rate was not gazetted until the seventh day of August, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the above-recited irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the same:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in 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 if the said debentures had been issued and dated after the seventh day of August, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, being the date of the gazetting of the aforesaid resolution making the special rate, and that the debentures for the said loan and the validity of the proceedings in connection therewith shall not be questioned on the ground of such irregularity or defect as aforesaid.
