ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 4th day of April, 1928.
Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE J. G. COATES, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS the Stratford Borough Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, proposes to raise a loan of seven thousand and seventy-six pounds (£7,076), authorized by a special order passed on the twenty-third day of January, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, and confirmed on the twentieth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, for the purpose of redeeming that portion of the Stratford Borough Streets Reconstruction Loan of £15,000, 1918, which matured on the first day of March, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight:
And whereas the proceedings are irregular in that the last advertisement giving notice of the special order was inserted on the eleventh day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, instead of on the fourteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, in order to comply with the provisions of section sixty-three of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920:
And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the irregularity or defect 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 in 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 if the said notice of the special order had been inserted on the fourteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight; 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.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
