the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be
altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and

every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and deter-
mined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the
licensee or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication in
the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing
such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensee, and
to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in
Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred,
have been revoked and determined; and upon such revoca-
tion the Minister may cause the said booms to be removed,
and may recover the cost incurred by any such removal
from the licensee.
8. The construction of the booms shall be deemed to be
an acceptance by the licensee of the conditions of this Order
in Council.
