CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 27th day of August, 1928.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Westport Borough Council, in pursuance of the powers contained in section seventeen of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), lately proceeded by way of special order to raise a loan of four thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine pounds nineteen shillings and one penny (hereinafter referred to as “the said loan”), for the purpose of redeeming the outstanding liability in respect of two loans of five thousand pounds and two thousand seven hundred pounds, respectively, raised for the gasworks undertaking, and which matured on the fourth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight:

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

(a) The Mayor’s requisition in writing calling the special meeting, although specifying the time fixed for the said special meeting, omitted to state the place at which such meeting was to be held, as required by subsection one of section sixty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920:

(b) The public notice of the resolution to make the special order (hereinafter referred to as “the said public notice”) was published once in each week for four consecutive weeks, but it was not published once in each full week intervening between the two meetings at which the special order was passed and confirmed, as required by section sixty-three (c) of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1920:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such irregularities or defects 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 conferred on him by section one hundred and twenty-two of the said Act, 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 Mayor’s requisition had stated the place fixed for the special meeting:

(b) The said public notice had been correctly published:

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

Clerk of the Executive Council.

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and authority hereinbefore mentioned, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby extend for a further period of twelve months the Order in Council under the said section one hundred and thirty-two dated the twenty-ninth day of September, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the second day of October, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four, but only in so far as it affects the Native land specified in the Schedule hereto.
