Present:

THE HONOURABLE W. DOWNIE STEWART PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Tamaki Road Board, in pursuance of the power contained in sections twelve and thirteen of the Auckland City and Auckland Museum Empowering Act, 1924, lately proceeded by way of special order to raise a loan of one hundred thousand pounds (£100,000) under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the purpose of paying the Board’s contribution towards the cost of the construction of the Waterfront Road :

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular in that,—

(a) The public notice of the resolution to make the special order authorizing the raising of the loan (hereinafter referred to as “the said public notice”), although stating the date fixed for the meeting to confirm that resolution (hereinafter referred to as “the confirming meeting”), omitted to state the time fixed for the confirming meeting, as required by section seventy-two of the Road Boards Act, 1908 :

(b) The said public notice, although published once in each week for four consecutive weeks preceding the confirming meeting, was not published once in each of the four consecutive weeks immediately preceding the confirming meeting, as required by section seventy-two of the Road Boards Act, 1908 :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such irregularities as aforesaid, and it is expedient to validate the same :

And whereas by section one hundred and twenty-six of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, the said Act is repealed, and it is enacted that all matters and proceedings commenced under the said Act and pending or in progress on the commencement of the reciting Act may be continued and enforced under the reciting Act :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by section one hundred and twenty-two of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, 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 in connection with the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said public notice had been correctly given, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan or of the security for the said loan shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.
