Validating Proceedings in connection with a Loan of Five
Thousand Pounds (£5,000) proposed to be raised by the
Whangaroa County Council.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 14th day of
November, 1927.

Present :

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE J. G. COATES, P.C., PRESIDING IN
COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Whangaroa County Council, acting under
and in pursuance of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act,
1926, proposes to raise a loan of five thousand pounds (£5,000),
authorized by a poll of ratepayers taken on the twelfth day of
February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, for
the purpose of constructing a wharf at Whangaroa (four
thousand pounds) and a wharf at Totara North (one thousand
pounds) :

And whereas the proceedings are irregular in that in the
advertisements giving notice of intention to raise loan, notice
of poll, and advertising result of poll, and in the voting-paper
the loan is purported to be raised under the provisions of the
Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, instead of under the provisions
of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 :

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 hun-
dred 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 the said Act had been correctly
cited in the said advertisements and voting-paper, and that
the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said
loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the
irregularity or defect aforesaid.

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

Member of Prisons Board appointed.

enabling him in that behalf, and acting by and with the advice

doth hereby appoint
