ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 28th day of May, 1935.

Present :

THE HONOURABLE E. A. RANSOM PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Gisborne Borough Loans Conversion Order, 1935 (No. 1), and the Gisborne Borough Loans Conversion Order, 1935 (No. 2), each made on the eighteenth day of February, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five, and published in Gazette No. 11 of the twenty-first day of February, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-five, and subject to and in accordance with the provisions of such respective Orders consent was given by the Governor-General in Council, acting in pursuance of the authority conferred on him by the Local Authorities Interest Reduction and Loans Conversion Act, 1932–33, to the issue by the Gisborne Borough Council (hereinafter referred to as “the Council”) of new securities in conversion of certain existing securities issued in respect of the loans referred to in the First Schedule of each such respective Order :

And whereas by clause six of each of the aforesaid Orders the Council was required to publish in certain newspapers a notice in the form numbered one in the Second Schedule to the Order, and where the address of any holder of existing securities to which such Order applies was known to forward by registered letter to such holder a copy of such notice :

And whereas the notices published or forwarded by the said Council in purported compliance with the requirements of the said clause are defective or irregular in that they were signed by the Town Clerk instead of by the Mayor, and it is desirable to validate the proceedings of the said Council affected by such defect or irregularity :

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 power and authority 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, doth order and declare that the proceedings of the Council in connection with the said notices shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though the said notices had been signed by the Mayor and that neither the said proceedings nor any new securities issued by the Board under the authority of either of such Orders shall hereafter be questioned in any Court on the ground of any such irregularity, defect, invalidity, or omission aforesaid.

A. W. MULLIGAN,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
