(b) The said notice had set forth the provision provided for repayment of the said loan—namely, within a period not exceeding thirty-six and a half years:

(c) The voting-paper had provided for the voter to vote by striking out a proposal:

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