Whereas the Buller County Council (hereinafter called the Council) was by Order in Council dated 18 November 1936, made pursuant to section 11 of the Local Government Loans Board Act 1926 and published in the Gazette of 19 November 1936, authorised to raise a loan of 750 pounds, to be known as the Karamea Doctor's Residence Loan, 1936 (hereinafter referred to as the said loan), subject to certain terms and conditions:

And whereas one of the terms and conditions aforesaid was that the Council should before raising the loan make provision for repayment by establishing a sinking fund:

And whereas the Council, pursuant to the said Order in Council, has raised a loan of 700 pounds from the State Advances Corporation of New Zealand, but has not made specific provision for a sinking fund as required by the said Order in Council:

And whereas the Council has issued a series of 40 debentures numbered 1 to 40 inclusive each for the sum of 24 pounds 9 shillings and 7 pence, being the half-yearly sum required to provide for the repayment of the said sum of 700 pounds with interest thereon at the rate of 3 pounds 10 shillings per centum per annum:

And whereas the said loan of 700 pounds was accordingly unlawfully borrowed, and it is desirable to validate the action of the Council in borrowing the same:

Be it therefore enacted as follows:

The action of the Council in borrowing the said sum of 700 pounds is hereby validated and the said moneys shall be deemed to have been lawfully borrowed and the securities given in respect thereof to have been lawfully issued, and the said debentures shall have full force and effect according to their tenor.

And whereas the Council is desirous of utilising the said sum of 1,970 pounds of the Advances to Owners Private Connections Loan, 1938, the sum of 970 pounds of the Point Howard Water and Sewerage Loan, 1938, and the sum of 750 pounds of the Lowry Bay Water and Sewerage Loan, 1939, for the purpose of paying in part its indebtedness of 3,900 pounds to the Lower Hutt City Council:
