Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Mauriceville County Council, acting
under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies' Loans
Act, 1913, proposes to make a bridge rate of one halfpenny
(½d.) in the pound sterling on the capital rateable value of
all rateable property in the County of Mauriceville, author-
ized by a poll of the ratepayers of the county taken on the
thirty-first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and
twenty-five, for the purpose of providing funds for the recon-
struction of bridges in the County of Mauriceville as and
when required:

And whereas the proceedings are irregular in that the
special order making the bridge rate was passed on the tenth
day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six,
and confirmed on the eighth day of May, one thousand nine
hundred and twenty-six, such date of confirmation being
sooner than the twenty-eighth day after the date of the
special meeting at which such special order was passed as
required by section ninety-nine of the Counties Act, 1920:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been
misled by the irregularity or defect aforesaid, and it is ex-
pedient 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 shall be valid to all intents and
purposes as though the special order had been confirmed not
sooner than twenty-eight days after the same had been passed,
and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the
said bridge rate shall not be called into question by reason
only of the irregularity or defect aforesaid.
