ORDER IN COUNCIL
At the Government Buildings at Wellington this 13th day of
April 1959
Present:
THE RIGHT HON. W. NASH PRESIDING IN COUNCIL
WHEREAS the Hokianga County Council is proceeding by
way of special order to raise a loan of £3,500 to be known
as the Staff Housing Loan No. 2 1958; and whereas the
special order made by the said Council to raise the said loan
was irregular or defective in that, firstly, contrary to paragraph
(b) of section 87 of the Counties Act 1956, the resolution to
raise the said loan was confirmed at a subsequent meeting
held later than the 70th day after the special meeting at which
such resolution was passed, secondly, contrary to paragraph
(c) of section 87 aforesaid, the first public notification of the
date, time, and place fixed for the subsequent meeting and
the purport of the resolution was not given during the period
of 28 days immediately preceding the date of the subsequent
meeting, and thirdly, contrary to paragraph (c) aforesaid,
an interval of less than 14 days elapsed between the two
notifications specified in the said paragraph; and whereas it
appears that the ratepayers of the district have not been
misled by such irregularities or defects as aforesaid and it
is expedient to validate the same; now, therefore, pursuant to
section 130 of the Local Authorities Loans Act 1956, 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 raising
of the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as
though the said special order had been made in accordance
with the provisions of paragraphs (b) and (c) of section
87 of the Counties Act 1956, and hereby further orders and
declares that the validity of the proceedings in connection
with the raising of the said loan or of the security for the
said loan shall not be questioned on the ground of the irregu-
larities or defects aforesaid.
T. J. SHERRARD, Clerk of the Executive Council.
