ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this
fourteenth day of November, 1882.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THE
GOVERNMENT 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-
struction 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 construc-
tion or use of such harbour works in any harbour
where no Harbour Board is in 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
Governor in Council thinks fit, and the rights there-
by conferred shall only be granted for a limited period
not exceeding in any case fourteen years, and may 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 the Auckland Gas Company (Limited)
(hereinafter termed "the Company"), desire to build
a wharf, for the use, benefit, and convenience of the
public, in Auckland Harbour, which harbour is with-
in the control of the Auckland Harbour Board; but
the said Board cannot conveniently execute or carry
out such work; and the Company have applied to
the Governor in Council for the issue of this order:

And whereas the said Company have deposited
plans of the said wharf (marked M.D. 625, 626, and
627) 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 Administrator
of the Government in Council that the proposed
work will not be or tend to the injury of navigation,
the Administrator of the Government 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 Administrator of the Govern-
ment 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 Company to build, in
Auckland Harbour, for the use, benefit, and con-
venience of the public, a wharf, in accordance with
the said plan marked M.D. 627, and in the position
shown on the said plans marked M.D. 625 and 626,
and to use and occupy such portion of the foreshore
or of any tidal land or tidal water as may be neces-
sary 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
   same shall have been completed in accordance with
   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 Company 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 its own
