JELLICOE, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 10th day of November, 1924.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Akitio County Council, acting under and in pursuance of paragraph (e) of section sixteen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, proposes to raise a loan of one thousand five hundred pounds for the purpose of metalling the Kaituna Road:

And whereas the ratepayers’ consent given under paragraph (e) of section sixteen aforesaid is irregular in that a subscribing ratepayer has attested the signatures of the other subscribers thereto:

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 ratepayers’ consent to the raising of the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the same had been properly witnessed, 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.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
