Validating Proceedings in connection with the Wanganui-Rangitikei Electric-power Board’s Loan of £150,000.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 22nd day of December, 1924.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Wanganui-Rangitikei Electric-power Board proceeded by way of special order to raise a loan of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, the Finance Act, 1921, and the Wanganui-Rangitikei Electric-power Board Enabling Act, 1924, for the purpose of paying to the Corporation of the City of Wanganui in respect and on account of the moneys payable under subparagraph (a) of paragraph two of the agreement mentioned and referred to in the Wanganui-Rangitikei Electric-power Board Enabling Act, 1924, the sum of one hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred pounds, being the amount of certain of the loans raised by the Corporation mentioned and referred to in subparagraph (b) of paragraph four of the said agreement, and the further sum of seven thousand four hundred pounds, which the Corporation is called upon to pay to redeem the said loans, and for the purpose of paying to the Corporation the sum of twenty-five thousand pounds in respect and on account of the losses mentioned in subparagraph (b) of paragraph two of the said agreement:

And whereas by Order in Council dated the eighth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, and gazetted on the eleventh day of the same month, the irregularity in connection with the proceedings referred to in that Order in Council was validated:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were further irregular in that the public notice of the meeting to confirm the special order authorizing the raising of the loan, although given four times, was not given once in each of the four weeks immediately preceding the day on which the said meeting was held:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such further irregularity as aforesaid, 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 in connection with the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said public notice had been correctly given, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question by reason of the irregularity aforesaid.

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

Validating Proceedings in connection with the Otahuhu Borough Council’s Loan of £12,000 for Waterworks-improvements.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 22nd day of December, 1924.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Otahuhu Borough Council lately proceeded to raise a loan of twelve thousand pounds under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the waterworks-improvements purposes mentioned in the notice published pursuant to section nine of the said Act:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular in that in the said notice as published on the thirtieth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, the proposed security for the repayment of the said loan was inadvertently stated to be an annually recurring special rate of thirteen-sixteenths (13/16ths) of a penny in the pound on the rateable value of all rateable property in the Borough of Otahuhu:

And whereas the amount of the said special rate should instead have been stated in the said notice as fifteen-sixteenths (15/16ths) of a penny in the pound:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such irregularity as aforesaid, 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 in connection with the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said special rate had been correctly stated, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

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