HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered
to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under
the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called "the said

called "the licensee"), has applied to the Governor in
Council for a license under the said Act to occupy a part
of the foreshore and land below low-water mark at Tonga-
porutu River, Taranaki, in order to erect a wharf thereon;
and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fiftieth sec-
tion of the said Act, has deposited plans in the office of
the Marine Department, at Wellington, marked M.D. 3393
(three sheets), showing the area of foreshore and land
below low-water mark intended to be occupied, and the
manner in which it is proposed to erect the wharf: And
whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor in
Council that the said work will not be or tend to the injury of
navigation, and the said plans have, prior to the making of
this Order in Council, been approved by the Governor in
Council: And whereas it is expedient that a license should
be granted and issued to the licensee under the said Act, for
the purpose aforesaid, on the terms and conditions set forth
in the First Schedule hereto, and that the regulations and
the dues and rates set forth in the Second Schedule hereto
should be made, and prescribed to be taken, for the use of
the said wharf:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the
Dominion 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 Dominion, doth hereby ap-
prove of the purpose 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 fore-
shore and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto, on
which the wharf is to be erected, as shown between points
C and D on sheet I of the plans so deposited as aforesaid,
for the purpose of erecting and maintaining the said wharf
thereon, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensee
upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
First Schedule hereto; and doth hereby make the regula-
tions, and prescribe the dues and rates to be taken, on and
after the date of publication of this Order in Council in the
