2	Saving of constitution of road districts in cases where petition not properly signed.

An Act to set at Rest certain Questions affecting the Validity of the Constitution of certain Road Districts.

Preamble.

WHEREAS the validity of the constitution of certain road districts has been questioned on the ground that the ratepayers’ petitions pursuant whereto such districts were constituted were not duly signed as required by law, and it is expedient to set every such question at rest:

Be it therefore enacted by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:—

1 Short Title.

The Short Title of this Act is “The Road Districts Validation Act, 1898.”

2 Saving of constitution of road districts in cases where petition not properly signed.

In any case where at any time before the coming into operation of this Act any County Council has by special order constituted a new road district under the provisions in that behalf contained in section four of “The Road Boards Act, 1882,” the validity of such special order, or of the constitution of such road district, shall not be questioned or affected by reason merely that the petition pursuant to which such special order was made was not duly signed as prescribed by that section.
