3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, the licensee shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the Minister the sum of £1, and thereafter an annual sum of 5s., payable on the 1st day of October, dating from the 1st day of October, 1898, the first of such annual payments to be made on the licensee being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

4. All persons shall at all reasonable times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use the said wharf, and all rights of ingress and egress thereon and therefrom.

Any person authorised by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the licensee a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf, requiring him within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, he shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

8. Nothing herein contained shall authorise the licensee to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Commissioner of Trade and Customs, or with any provisions of “The Harbours Act, 1878,” or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

9. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said wharf shall be taken away by the licensee and deposited above high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved of by the Minister, or by any person appointed by the Minister for that purpose: Provided that this clause shall only have force and effect on the Minister notifying the licensee in writing that it is to be operative.
