as “The Kanakanaia No. 6 Loan” for the purpose of widening, regrading, and metalling approximately one mile of the Kanakanaia Hill Road :

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the raising of the said loan were irregular in that the special roll comprising the names of all persons entitled to vote in the Kanakanaia No. 6 Special-rating Area contained the headings “Description” and “Value” in place of the headings “Number of Section,” “Block,” and “Rateable Value” respectively, as required by the regulations under the said Act :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the special-rating area have not been misled by such irregularity 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And whereas by section one hundred and twenty-six of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, the said Act is repealed, and it is enacted that all matters and proceedings commenced under the said Act and pending or in progress on the commencement of the reciting Act may be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 special roll had been in the form prescribed by the aforesaid regulations, 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 irregularity aforesaid.
