    any notice to the Council or other proceedings whatsoever;
    and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in
    Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Taieri River Trust (hereinafter referred

during the years ended on the thirty-first day of March, of
the respective years one thousand nine hundred and twenty-
seven, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight, one
thousand nine hundred and twenty-nine, and one thousand
nine hundred and thirty:

And whereas the rate-book in respect of each of the afore-
said years was not signed by two members of the trust within
the time fixed in that behalf, but each such rate-book was
so signed after such fixed time, and it is expedient to validate
each irregularity:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers
and authorities conferred on him by section ninety-nine of
the Rating Act, 1925, and of all other powers and authorities
enabling him in that behalf, 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, doth hereby declare that the proceedings in con-
nection with the making and levying of the rates of the trust
for each of the aforesaid years shall be valid to all intents
and purposes as if the rate-book in respect of each of the
aforesaid years had been properly signed within the fixed time,
and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with
the making and levying of the said rates shall not be called
in question by reason only of the irregularities aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
