ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 27th day of July, 1925.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Papatoetoe Town Board lately proceeded to raise a loan of one thousand eight hundred pounds under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913 (hereinafter referred to as 'the said Act'), for the purchase of a depot and the necessary plant for the removal of nightsoil:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular in that the voting-paper used for the purposes of the poll taken on the proposal to raise the said loan did not set forth the proposed security and provision for the repayment of the said loan nor a statement whether or not it was proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year, as required by section ten of the said Act:

And whereas the proposed security and provision for the repayment of the said loan and a statement that it was proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan and the interest and sinking fund for the first year were set forth in the notice published pursuant to section nine of the said Act:

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 said Act, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, 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 voting-paper had set forth the aforesaid particulars required by section ten of the said Act, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan or of the security for the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
