Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Amuri County Council, with the precedent consent of the Governor-General in Council given under the Local Government Loans Board Act, 1926, lately proceeded to raise a loan of seven hundred and fifty pounds (£750) under the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the purpose of providing the county’s share of the cost of constructing a bridge over the Mandamus River at Tekoa:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular or defective in that the special order made pursuant to the provisions of section seventeen of the said Act stated that the loan, although expressed therein to be for a period of thirty-three (33) years, commencing on the first day of November, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-two, would mature on the first day of November, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-five, a period of only twenty-three years:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by such irregularity or defect as aforesaid, and that 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 maturity date of the said loan had been expressed in the said special order to be the first day of November, one thousand nine hundred and sixty-five, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called in question only by reason of the irregularity or defect aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
