HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL
WHEREAS by Order in Council made on the 27th day of

to the raising in New Zealand by the Timaru City Council
(hereinafter called the said local authority) of a loan of
twenty-eight thousand five hundred pounds, to be known as

extending the period within which the balance of the said loan

Council made on the 27th day of July 1949:
And whereas portion of the said loan amounting to one
thousand six hundred pounds (hereinafter called the said

Now, therefore, pursuant to section 11 of the Local
Government Loans Board Act 1926, as set out in section 29
of the Finance Act 1932 (No. 2), His Excellency the Governor-
General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the

C. W. M. NORRIE, Governor-General
By his Deputy,
H. E. BARROWCLOUGH
ORDER IN COUNCIL
At the Government House at Wellington, this 16th day of
June 1954
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL
WHEREAS the Murchison County Council lately proceeded
by way of special order to raise a loan of two thousand
five hundred pounds to be known as Worker's Dwelling Loan
1954 (hereinafter called the said loan):
And whereas the proceedings in connection with the said
loan were irregular or defective in that, although two noti-
fications in respect of the raising of the said loan, as required
by paragraph (c) of section 99 of the Counties Act 1920,
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 dis-
trict have not been misled by such irregularity or defect as
aforesaid and it is expedient to validate the same:
Now, therefore, pursuant to section 122 of the Local
Bodies' Loans Act 1926, His Excellency the Governor-General,
acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive
Council, hereby orders and declares 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 or defect aforesaid.

Clerk of the Executive Council
