CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 22nd day of May, 1928.

Present:

The Right Honourable J. G. Coates, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Manawatu-Oroua Electric-power Board lately proceeded to raise a loan of five hundred thousand pounds (£500,000) under the Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1913 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the purpose of purchasing and constructing electric works;

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular, in that the advertisements of the loan proposal in terms of section nine of the said Act did not describe the proposals for which the loan was intended to be raised as fully and completely as the said proposals were described in the voting-papers and advertisements issued in terms of section ten of the said Act:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such irregularity 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 the said advertisements issued in terms of the said section nine had agreed in description of the loan proposals with the said voting-papers and said advertisements issued in terms of the said section ten, 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.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
