Order in Council Validating the Proceedings in connection with
the Conversion of certain Loans by the Marlborough County
Council.

BLEDISLOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 20th day of
November, 1934.

Present :
His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS by the Marlborough County Loans Conversion
Order, 1934 (No. 1), and by the Marlborough County
Loans Conversion Order, 1934 (No. 2), each made under the
authority of Part II of the Local Authorities Interest Reduction
and Loans Conversion Act, 1932–33, on the tenth day of
September, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four, and
published in the Gazette of the thirteenth day of September,
one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four, it was provided
that the Marlborough County Council, if it so resolved by a
resolution passed and confirmed as provided by subsection
two of section nine of the said Act, might, subject to and in
accordance with the provisions of such Orders, issue new
securities in conversion of existing securities to which such
Orders respectively applied :

And whereas it is provided by the said subsection two of
section nine that the power thereby conferred on a local
authority to convert existing securities shall be exercised
pursuant to a resolution passed at a special meeting of that
local authority and confirmed at a subsequent meeting (either
ordinary or special) held not sooner than the fourteenth day
after the date of such special meeting, and that public notice
of the place and date fixed for such subsequent meeting and
of the purport of the resolution proposed to be confirmed
thereat shall be given at least twice in the period intervening
between the two meetings :

And whereas resolutions were duly passed at a special
meeting of the Marlborough County Council held on the
twenty-sixth day of September, one thousand nine hundred
and thirty-four, that the said Council issue new securities in
accordance with the provisions of the aforesaid Marlborough
County Loans Conversion Order, 1934 (No. 1), and of the
Marlborough County Loans Conversion Order, 1934 (No. 2) :

And whereas such resolutions were confirmed at a subsequent
meeting of the said Council held on the twelfth day of October,
one thousand nine hundred and thirty-four, but public notice
of the place and time fixed for such subsequent meeting and of
the purport of the resolutions to be confirmed thereat was given
once only in the period intervening between the two meetings
instead of twice as provided by the said subsection two of
section nine of the said Act :

And whereas it is expedient that the proceedings of the
Marlborough County Council be validated in so far as they
are affected by the omission to give such public notice at
least twice :

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 two of the
Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion
Amendment Act, 1934, 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 validate the proceedings in connection with the
conversion of the loans to which the said Orders respectively
apply to all intents and purposes as though public notice of
the time and place fixed for the subsequent meeting and of the
purport of the resolutions to be confirmed thereat had been
published at least twice in the period intervening between the
two meetings, and neither the proceedings of the said Marl-
borough County Council in connection with the conversion of
the said loans nor any new securities issued in conversion of
existing securities to which either of the said Orders applies
shall be questioned in any Court on the ground of the said
omission to give public notice twice as aforesaid.

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

Validating Proceedings taken in connection with the Raising of
the Blenheim Borough Council’s Loan of £28,000.

BLEDISLOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 20th day of
November, 1934.

Present :
His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS the Blenheim Borough Council, acting in
pursuance of Part V of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act,
1926, lately commenced proceedings to raise a special loan of
twenty-eight thousand pounds (£28,000), to be known as the
“Special Conversion Loan, 1934,” for the purpose of converting
before maturity date the outstanding liability in respect of
three loans of £22,000, £5,000, and £1,000, maturing in Sydney
on the first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and
forty-three :

And whereas the proceedings taken by the said Council in
connection with the raising of the said loan are irregular or
defective in that the requisition and notices issued pursuant
to subsections one and two of section sixty-one, and para-
graph (e) of section sixty-two, of the Municipal Corporations
Act, 1933, did not specify the place at which the Council
meetings were to be held as required by the subsections and
paragraph mentioned :

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district
over which the said loan is to be raised have not been misled
by such irregularity or defect as aforesaid, and it is expedient
to validate the same :

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 section one hundred and twenty-two of
the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, and section three hundred
and eighty-seven of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1933,
and of all other powers and authorities enabling him in this
behalf, doth hereby order and declare that the proceedings
taken in connection with the raising of the said loan shall be
valid to all intents and purposes as though the requisition and
notices aforesaid had been correctly given, and that the
validity of the proceedings in connection with the raising of
the said loan or the validity of the security for the said loan
shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity
or defect aforesaid.

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