Present:
THE HONOURABLE T. M. WILFORD, PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Timaru Harbour Board (hereinafter
called “the said local authority”) is desirous of
raising the sum of seventy-four thousand two hundred and
fifty pounds by a loan to be known as “Harbour Works
Redemption Loan, 1930,” for the purpose of redeeming the
outstanding liability in respect of a loan of one hundred
thousand pounds maturing first January, one thousand nine
hundred and thirty:

And whereas the said local authority has complied with
the provisions of the Local Government Loans Board Act,
1926 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), and it is expedient
that the precedent consent of the Governor-General in Council
under the said Act should be given to the raising of the said
loan on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of
the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice
and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion,
and in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities
conferred on him by the said Act, and of all other powers and
authorities enabling him in this behalf, doth hereby consent
to the raising by the said local authority of the said loan up
to the amount of seventy-four thousand two hundred and
fifty pounds for a term of twenty years, at such rate or rates of
interest as shall not produce to the lenders a rate exceeding
the rate of five pounds five shillings per centum per annum,
subject to the condition that the said local authority shall,
before borrowing the said sum or any part thereof, make
provision for the repayment thereof by establishing a sinking
fund under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, or under such
other statutory enactment as may be applicable, and shall
thereafter make to such sinking fund payments at intervals
of not more than one year at a rate or rates which shall be not
less than the rate of three pounds per centum, such payments
to be made in respect of every part of the said sum for the
time being so borrowed and not repaid, and the first payment
to be made not later than one year after the first day from
which interest to the lender is computed on any moneys so
borrowed.

Clerk of the Executive Council.

County Council’s Loan of £2,700.

CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 15th day of
November, 1929.

Present:
THE HONOURABLE T. M. WILFORD, PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Featherston County Council lately pro-
ceeded to raise a loan of two thousand seven hundred
pounds (£2,700) under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926
(hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the purpose
of drainage works:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said
loan were irregular or defective in that the persons witnessing
the signature of the ratepayers who signed the ratepayers’
consent are themselves signatory ratepayers:

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 and authorities conferred on him by section one
hundred and twenty-two of the said Act, and of all other
powers and authorities enabling him in this 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 persons
witnessing the signatures of the ratepayers who signed the
ratepayers’ consent were not signatory ratepayers: 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 irregu-
larities or defects aforesaid.

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