CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 23rd day of
February, 1925.
Present:

HIS EXCELLENCE THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Waimarino County Council, acting under
and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1913, proposes to raise a loan of one hundred and fifty pounds
for the purpose of culverting and forming Boyd's Road :
And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of
the loan is irregular in 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 ninety-nine of the Counties Act, 1920 :
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 Execu-
tive 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 only of
the irregularity or defect aforesaid.

F. D. THOMSON.
Clerk of the Executive Council
