HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Castlepoint County Council, acting under
and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1913, proposes to raise a loan of one thousand pounds for the
purpose of forming and metalling a road from the end of the
Castlepoint Road to the Jetty Landing-shed, and constructing
a ford at the Station Creek crossing at Castlepoint:

And whereas the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers
upon the said proposal was in the form numbered six in the
Second Schedule to the Local Elections and Polls Act, 1908,
instead of in the form numbered one in the First Schedule to
the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the said irregularity or defect, 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 taken to raise the said loan
shall be valid to all intents and purposes as if the voting-paper used at the poll of ratepayers had been in correct form,
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.

WHEREAS the Inglewood County Council, acting under
and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans Act,
1913, proposes to raise a loan of five thousand pounds for the
purchase of land and erection of workers' dwellings:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said
loan are irregular in that the public notification of the meeting
to confirm the special order authorizing the raising of the loan
did not state the place fixed for such meeting:

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 Executive
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 of the irregularity
aforesaid.
