His Excellency The Governor-General in Council.
WHEREAS the Dannevirke Electric-power Board is proceeding by way of special order pursuant to section fifteen of the Finance Act (No. 2), 1936, to raise a loan of thirty-five thousand pounds (£35,000) to be known as "Reticulation Loan, 1938" (hereinafter called "the said loan"):

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been misled by such irregularity 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 Local Bodies' Loans Act, 1926, 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 said public notice had been correctly given, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan, or of the security for the said loan, shall not be called in question by reason only of the irregularity or defect aforesaid.
