THE HONORABLE THE PREMIER PRESIDING IN
COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the sixteenth section of "The
Harbours Act, 1878," it is enacted that in
any harbour where no Harbour Board is in existence
the Governor in Council may authorize any person
to construct harbour works (other than the reclama-
tion of land from the sea, or any harbour, or the con-
strnction of any graving dock, dock, or breakwater
in any harbour or in the sea), and to use and occupy
such part of the foreshore, or of any tidal land or
tidal waters, as may be necessary for the construction
or use of such harbour works in any harbour where
no Harbour Board is is existence: And whereas by
the seventeenth section of the said Act it is also
enacted that every such Order in Council shall be
made upon such terms and conditions as the Gover-
nor in Council thinks fit, and the rights thereby
conferred shall only be granted for a limited period
not exceeding in any case fourteen years, and may to
at any time be altered, modified, or revoked: And
whereas by the one hundred and fifty-second section
of the said Act it is further enacted that, where it
shall appear to the Governor in Council that any
harbour works are required for the use, benefit, or
convenience of the public within a harbour under the

control of a Harbour Board, and that such Board
cannot conveniently execute or carry out such works,
then, and in any such case, the Governor in Council
may exercise the powers vested in him by the six-
teenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth sections of the
said Act:

And whereas George Gray Russell desires to build
a wharf, for the use, benefit, and convenience of the
public, in Otago Harbour, which harbour is within
the control of the Otago Harbour Board; but the
said Board cannot conveniently execute or carry out
such work; and the said George Gray Russell has
applied to the Governor in Council for the issue of
this order:

And whereas the said George Gray Russell has
deposited plans of the said wharf (marked M.D. 612
and 613) at the office of the Marine Department at
Wellington, in the manner prescribed by the one
hundred and fifty-sixth section of the said Act, and,
it having been made to appear to the Governor in
Council that the proposed work will not be or tend
to the injury of navigation, the Governor in Council
hath this day approved of the said deposited plans
without any modification or addition, and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Order in Council:

Now, therefore, the Governor of the Colony of New
Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the power and
authority vested in him by the said Act, and by and
with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said colony, doth hereby authorize the said
George Gray Russell to build in Otago Harbour, for
the use, benefit, and convenience of the public, a
wharf, in accordance with the said plan marked M.D.
613, and in the position shown on the said plan marked
M.D. 612, and to use and occupy such portion of
the foreshore or of any tidal land or tidal water as
may be necessary for the construction and use of
such wharf, subject to the following conditions, that
is to say,-

1. That all persons shall, at all reasonable times,
   either in the daytime or at night, have free and full
   liberty to use the above-mentioned wharf, after the

   the said plans, and to have ingress to and upon the
   said wharf, and egress therefrom, and regress thereto,
   as occasion may require.

2. That every person, authority, or thing exempt
   from harbour dues under the one hundred and thirty-
   second section of the said Act shall also be exempt
   from all dues or payments in respect of the said
   wharf or the use thereof.

3. That the said George Gray Russell shall maintain
   and keep the above-mentioned wharf and all erections
   thereon in good order and repair, and shall at all
   times permit to be erected and exhibited therefrom
   any lights for the guidance of vessels, and shall
   maintain at his own cost any such lights: Provided
   that no light shall be exhibited until after it has been
   approved of by the Minister.

4. That any person authorized by the Minister may
   at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and
   any buildings erected thereon, and view the state of
   repairs thereof; and that, upon the Minister leaving
   at or posting to the last known address of the said
   George Gray Russell a notice in writing of any defect
   or want of repair in such wharf or buildings, requir-
   ing him, within a reasonable time to be therein pre-
   scribed, to repair the same, he shall, with all convenient
   speed, cause such defect to be removed or such repairs
   to be made.

5. That the said George Gray Russell will not
   erect or suffer to be erected on the said wharf any
   building or structure whatever, except with the con-
   sent of the Minister.
