Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £260 proposed to be raised by the Te Puke Town Board.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-Genera'.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 27th day of July, 1925.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR- CENERAL IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Te Puke Town Board, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913, proposes to raise a loan of two hundred and sixty pounds (£260) for the purpose of purchasing one Nixon “Perfection” bitumen hand sprayer:

And whereas by section nine of the said Act it is provided that there shall be published in any newspaper circulating in the district once in each week for four successive weeks a notice setting forth, inter alia, a statement whether or not

it is proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year:

And whereas by subsection four of section ten of the said Act it is provided that the voting-paper shall contain full particulars of the notice mentioned in section nine thereof:

And whereas the proceedings are irregular inasmuch as the hereinbefore-mentioned statement was not inserted in the notice of the Board's intention to raise the loan and in the voting-paper used at the poll of the ratepayers:

And whereas it is not the intention of the Board to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the said irregularities or defects, 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 consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby order and declare that the proceedings taken shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the notices of the Board's intention to raise a loan and the voting-paper used at the poll of the ratepayers had contained a statement to the effect that it was not the Board's intention to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.

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

Section V.
PARAGRAPH 175, as published in the New Zealand Gazette dated 2nd April, 1925, is hereby amended by deleting the fourth and fifth sentences (lines 12 to 20), and substituting the following :-

“The certificate will be forwarded by the Area Officer or Adjutant, through the Staff Officer i/c Regimental District, to the Assistant Director of Medical Services of the Command, who, if the case is a clear one, will make his recommendation thereon. The Staff Officer i/c Regimental District will then issue the certificate of exemption, if so recommended by the A.D.M.S. If there is a doubt as to whether the case is one for exemption, the A.D.M.S. will refer it to the Director of Medical Services, who will, if he considers it necessary, arrange for the applicant to be examined by a Medical Board.”

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor General this 30th day of July, 1925.
