His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS the Otago Electric-power Board lately proceeded to raise a loan of twenty-three thousand five hundred pounds (£23,500) under the provisions of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1926 (hereinafter referred to as “the said Act”), for the purpose of establishing, acquiring, and carrying out electrical works and undertakings in the Maniototo-Strath Taieri portion of the Power Board’s district:

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular or defective in that the poll of ratepayers was taken less than one week after the day of the last publication of the notice mentioned in section ten of the said Act;

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:

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 in all intents and purposes as though the poll of the ratepayers had been taken not less than one week after the day of the last publication of the notice mentioned in section ten of the said Act, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with 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.

C. A. JEFFERY,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
