CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 17th day of October, 1927.

Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS pursuant to the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 (hereinafter referred to as the “ said Act ”), the Raglan Town Board lately proceeded to raise a loan of two thousand two hundred pounds for the purpose of erecting a municipal building, including a town hall :

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

(a) In the notice setting forth the day on which the poll would be taken (hereinafter referred to as the “ said notice ”) reference was made to section nine of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, instead of to section ten of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 :

(b) The said notice did not contain, nor did the voting-paper used for the purposes of the poll taken on the proposal to raise the said loan set forth a statement whether or not it was proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year, as required by section ten of the said Act :

(c) The said voting-paper was not in the form numbered (1) in the First Schedule to the said Act, in that it did not refer to the Act under which it was proposed to raise the said loan, that is to say the said Act :

(d) The poll of ratepayers provided for by section eleven of the said Act was not taken not less than one week after the day of the last publication of the said notice :

And whereas it was not proposed to pay out of the said loan the cost of raising the said loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year :

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 :

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 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—

(a) The said Act and section ten thereof had been correctly referred to in the said notice :

(b) The said notice had contained, and the said voting-paper had set forth, a statement that it was not proposed to pay out of the loan the cost of raising the loan or the interest and sinking fund for the first year :

(c) The said voting-paper had referred to the said Act as the Act under which it was proposed to raise the said loan :

(d) The poll of ratepayers had been taken at a proper time :

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.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
