Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of £300, proposed to be raised by the Kawhia County Council.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 7th day of November, 1927.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Kawhia County Council proceeded by way of special order to raise a loan of three hundred pounds under section seventeen (e) of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, for the purpose of metalling about one mile of the Oparau Block Road:

And whereas the said loan is for the benefit of part of the said county—to wit, all that portion of the county bounded as follows: Being all that area in the Kawhia County, Kawhia North Survey District, commencing at the south-west corner of Section 3, Block III; thence in a north-westerly direction to the northern boundary of Section 3; thence in an easterly direction along the northern boundary of the said Section 3 and the northern boundaries of Sections 5, 6, and 3, Block IV, to the Oparau Block Road; thence along Oparau Road to the northern boundary of Section 10, Block IV; thence in an easterly and southerly direction to the southern boundary of Section 10; thence in a westerly direction along the southern boundaries of Sections 10, 9, and 8, and a portion of the boundary of Section 7, Block IV; thence in a southerly direction to the eastern corner of Section 3, Block VII; thence in an easterly direction thirty chains along the southern boundary of Section 3B2C4; thence in a right line due south to the Pirongia West Road; thence in a south-westerly direction in a right line seventy chains, and thence in a right line twenty chains south through Section part 3B2C3; thence along the southern boundary of the said Section part 3B2C3 in a westerly direction to the Oparau Block Road; thence in a south-westerly direction along the Oparau Block Road, a distance of fifteen chains in a north-westerly direction, traversing Section 3B2A No. 3 (Irvine) to Section 3B2G; thence following the boundary of Section 3B2G to its intersection with the western boundary of Section 2A, Block VII (Handley); thence in a northerly direction by the western boundary of Sections 2A and 3, Block VII, to its junction with the southern boundary of Section 3, Block III; thence along the southern boundary of the said Section 3 to the point of commencement:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan are irregular or defective in that—
(a) The special order incorrectly described the special-rating area;
(b) The public notification of the meeting to confirm the special order did not comply with the provisions of paragraph (c) of section ninety-nine of the Counties Act, 1920:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the said special-rating area have not been misled by such irregularities or defects as aforesaid, and it is expedient to validate the said proceedings:

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 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—
(a) The special order correctly described the special-rating area;
(b) The public notification of the meeting to confirm the special order had complied with the provisions of section 99 (c) of the Counties Act, 1920;

and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularities or defects aforesaid.

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

3. Any officer of the State Forest Service shall have free access to the said land at all times for the purpose of inspecting planting or other forestal operations, or for the purpose of reporting upon proposed forest activities, but no charge shall be made unless the inspection is carried out at the request of the said Board.

4. The said Board shall, as soon as practicable after the date hereof, appoint some fit person to supervise and manage all tree-planting operations which may be undertaken by the said Board, and generally to advise the said Board on all matters pertaining to its forestry operations.

5. The said Board may dispose of, by private sale, tender, or auction, any timber, trees, tree-seeds, firewood, or other forest produce on or from the said land.

6. In April of each year the said Board shall furnish to the Commissioner of State Forests a report for the year ending on the preceding thirty-first day of March, presenting in complete detail full particulars of the technical operations, and shall at the same time submit a plan of operations for the ensuing year which shall be effective on approval by the Commissioner of State Forests.
