ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 6th day of August, 1925.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS on the nineteenth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, the Hutt County Council took a poll of the ratepayers of the Hutt County on a proposal to raise a loan of forty-five thousand pounds, which proposal was submitted to the ratepayers in the words and figures following :—

“PROPOSAL TO RAISE A SPECIAL LOAN OF £45,000.

“For the following purposes :—
“1. To provide the Council’s contribution under the Main Highways Act, 1922, towards the construction or reconstruction of the main highways in the County of Hutt.
“2. To provide the Council’s contribution under the Wellington City and Suburban Highways Construction and Hutt Road Amendment Act, 1924, towards the widening of the Day’s Bay Road, being a main road in the County of Hutt.
“3. To provide the necessary plant and machinery for carrying out the said works.

“The sum proposed to be borrowed for each purpose is—
“1. For main-highways construction and reconstruction .. .. .. £38,000
“2. For widening of the Day’s Bay Road .. .. 2,000
“3. For plant and machinery.. .. .. 5,000
———
£45,000

“As security for the repayment of the loan and interest thereon by equal half-yearly instalments extending over a period not exceeding thirty-six and a half years, it is proposed to make and levy an annual-recurring rate of forty-two one-hundredths (42/100ths) of a penny in the pound upon the capital value of all rateable property in the County of Hutt.

“It is proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan and the interest and sinking fund for the first year.”

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan are irregular or defective in that the said poll was put before the ratepayers on the basis that the said sum of thirty-eight thousand pounds mentioned in the said proposal was a contribution by the Hutt County Council to the Main Highways Board under the Main Highways Act, 1922, and the sum of two thousand pounds a contribution by the said Council to the widening of the Day’s Bay Road, a main road in the Hutt County, which such Council was liable or empowered to make under the Wellington City and Suburban Highways Construction and Hutt Road Amendment Act, 1924, whereas the said sum of thirty-eight thousand pounds was a sum proposed to be borrowed by the Hutt County for the purpose of constructing or reconstructing roads part of the main highways in the County of Hutt on the basis of there having been a delegation by the Main Highways Board to the said County Council of its powers under section nine of the Main Highways Act, 1922; and that as to the said sum of two thousand pounds there had been a mistake in the reference put to the ratepayers with regard to the Council’s liability or power to contribute the said sum of two thousand pounds :

And whereas the Governor-General is satisfied that the ratepayers of the Hutt County have not been misled by any irregularity or defect in the proceedings taken for the purpose of authorizing the said loan :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby, pursuant to the provisions of section one hundred and eleven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and of every other power and authority him thereunto enabling, validate the proceedings taken for the purpose of raising the said loan of forty-five thousand pounds in any respect in which the said proceedings are in anywise irregular or defective.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
