And whereas the proceedings are irregular, inasmuch as the first publication of such notice was made less than fourteen days before the date of the poll of the ratepayers—namely, on the sixth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three, and the poll was taken on the eighteenth day of December, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-three :

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 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 first publication of the notice of the date of the poll of the ratepayers had been published not less than fourteen days before the said date, 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.
