His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinafter mentioned, Garden Boyd Watson, of Dunedin (hereinafter called “the licensee”), has applied to the Governor in Council for a license under “The Harbours Act Amendment Act, 1883” (hereinafter called “the said Act”), to occupy a part of the foreshore of West Wanganui Inlet, in the County of Collingwood, in order to construct thereon a tram-line; 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. 3022), in duplicate, showing the place where it is intended to erect such tram-line, the area of foreshore to be occupied for such purpose, and the manner in which it is proposed to construct such tram-line: 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 it is expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the licensee 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 of all other powers and authorities enabling him in that behalf, and by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, doth hereby approve of the purpose or object for which the said license is required by the licensee as aforesaid; and, in further pursuance and exercise of the said power and authority, and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth hereby license and permit the licensee to use and occupy that part of the foreshore which is particularly shown and delineated on the plan marked M.D. 3022 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing or erecting thereon a tram-line; such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the following terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

1. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the Minister of Marine, as defined by “The Shipping and Seamen Act, 1903,” and includes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the direction of such Minister.

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 three pounds, and thereafter an annual sum of three pounds in advance; such annual payments to date from the date hereof, the first of such annual payments to be made

on the licensee being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

4. His Majesty, or the Governor, and all officers in the Government service acting in the execution of their duty, shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress into, through, over, and out of the said tram-line without payment.

6. The licensee shall maintain the above-mentioned tram-line in good order and repair.

7. Any person authorised by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said tram-line 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 tram-line, requiring it, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to make good the same, the licensee shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made, as the case may be.

8. The licensee shall make or allow to be made such crossings over the tramway as may be required by the Minister.

10. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under this Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen years from the date hereof unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the licensee shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the written consent of the Minister first obtained.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensee three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the licensee.

12. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which the said tram-line may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on his part.

13. In case the licensee shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said tram-line for the purposes aforesaid;
    (3.) Become bankrupt, or be in any manner brought under the operation of any Act in force for the time being relating to bankruptcy; or
