And whereas the special order made by the said Board was
irregular or defective in that, contrary to paragraph (b) of
section 77 of the Municipal Corporations Act 1954 (the
provisions whereof apply to the said special order by virtue
of section 2 of the Local Authorities Loans Act 1956 and
section 27 of the Christchurch Tramway District Act 1920),
the resolution to raise the said loan was confirmed at a
subsequent meeting held later than the forty-second day after
the special meeting at which such resolution was passed:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers of the district
have not been misled by such irregularity or defect as afore-
said 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 pro-
ceedings 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 pro-
visions of paragraph (b) of section 77 of the Municipal
Corporations Act 1954, and hereby further orders and de-
clares 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.
