And whereas the special order made by the said Board to raise the said loan was irregular or defective in that the two public notifications required by paragraph (c) of subsection (1) of section 45 of the Electric Power Boards Act 1925 as amended by section 3 of the Electric Power Boards Amendment Act 1958, although given twice with an interval of not less than 14 days between each, were not both given during the period of 28 days immediately preceding the date of the subsequent meeting confirming the resolution to raise the said loan:

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, 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 public notifications had been given in the prescribed manner, 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 irregularity or defect aforesaid.
