ONSLOW, Governor.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this third day
of August, 1889.
Present:
HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by "The Harbours Act Amendment Act,
1883" (hereinafter called "the said Act"), it is,
among other things, enacted that, where the foreshore has
been legally vested in any Harbour Board or other local
governing body, it may from time to time, subject to the
provisions of the one hundred and fifty-sixth section of
"The Harbours Act, 1878," license and permit any part of
the foreshore to be used or occupied, inter alia, for the
erection of baths and bath-houses, and any enclosure or
fence necessary for the protection or privacy of the same:
And whereas by the said Act it is also provided that every
licensee shall, subject to the provisions of the said Act, have
power to make and construct any necessary reclamation for
the purpose of erecting on the foreshore comprised in his
license, or upon any land below low-water mark immediately
contiguous to such foreshore which shall be specified in such
license, any building, structure, erection, or other works to
enable him to obtain the full benefit of such license: And
whereas by the said Act it is further provided that every such
license shall be in writing under the seal of the Board or
body granting the same, and may be for any period not ex-
ceeding fourteen years from the date thereof, and may pre-
scribe a sum of money to be payable either at stated periods
or on or before the granting thereof for the use of the fore-
shore so granted, and may prescribe any other terms or con-
ditions, general or particular, to be observed or performed by
the person to whom the same is granted: And whereas by
the said Act it is also enacted that, in any case where there
is no Harbour Board, or no Harbour Board empowered to
grant any such license as aforesaid, the Governor in Council
may in his discretion grant and issue a license for all or any
of the purposes hereinbefore mentioned, and all the pro-
visions of the said Act in respect of such licenses shall,
mutatis mutandis, apply accordingly: And whereas by
Order in Council dated the eighteenth day of December,
one thousand eight hundred and eighty-three, the
Borough Council of Caversham was licensed to use and
occupy the parts of the foreshore and land below low-water
mark immediately contiguous thereto, as shown on plan
(marked M.D. 867), for the purpose of constructing or erect-
ing thereon a bath and bath-houses: And whereas the said
Borough Council of Caversham (hereinafter called "the
said Council") has applied for a license under the said Act
to use and occupy a further part of the foreshore and the
land below low-water mark immediately contiguous to such
foreshore and adjoining the foreshore and tidal land for which
the said license was granted, in order to erect and maintain
thereon additional baths and bath-houses at Forbury Point,
St. Clair, Caversham; and, in accordance with the one
hundred and fifty-sixth section of "The Harbours Act,
1878," has deposited a plan in the office of the Marine
Department, at Wellington (marked M.D. 1528), showing
the place where it is intended to erect such baths and bath-
houses, and the area of foreshore or land below low-water
mark intended to be occupied for such purposes: And
whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor in
Council that the proposed work will not be or tend to the
injury of navigation; and the said plan has, prior to the
making of this Order in Council, been approved by the
Governor in Council, without modification or addition: And
whereas there is no Harbour Board having jurisdiction at
Caversham, and it is expedient that a license should be
granted and issued to the said Council under the said Act,
for the purposes aforesaid, on the terms and conditions
hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency 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 with the
advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said
colony, doth hereby license and permit the said Council to
use and occupy those parts of the foreshore and of the land
below low-water mark immediately contiguous thereto which
are particularly shown and delineated on the plan so deposited
as aforesaid, and marked M.D. 1528, for the purpose of con-
structing or erecting thereon additional baths and bath-
houses, such license to be held and enjoyed by the said
Council upon and subject to the following terms and con-
ditions, that is to say,—
