HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Thames Valley Electric-power Board is proceeding by way of special order under section seventeen (b) of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926, to raise a loan of three hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds (£325,000) by a loan to be known as “Redemption Loan, 1936,” for the purpose of redeeming on the first day of September, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six, the outstanding liability in respect of a loan of three hundred and fifty thousand pounds (£350,000), finally maturing on the first day of September, one thousand nine hundred and fifty-four, but redeemable at the option of the local authority on the said first day of September, one thousand nine hundred and thirty-six:

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