Validating Proceedings in connection with the Ohakune Borough Council’s Loan of £3,900.

C. L. N. NEWALL, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 22nd day of October, 1941.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Ohakune Borough Council lately proceeded by way of special order to raise a loan of three thousand nine hundred pounds (£3,900) to be known as “Workers’ Dwellings Loan, 1941” (hereinafter called “the said loan”):

And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said loan were irregular or defective in that, although the two public notifications in respect of the raising of the said loan as required by paragraph (c) of section sixty-two of the Municipal Corporations Act, 1933, as set out in paragraph (a) of section five of the Municipal Corporations Amendment Act, 1938, were given during the period of twenty-eight days immediately preceding the date of the subsequent meeting confirming the resolution to raise the said loan, there was an interval of less than fourteen days between the two notifications:

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 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 notifications 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 aforesaid.

Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.
