Council: And whereas it is expedient that a license under

land below low-water mark which are particularly shown
and delineated on the sheets I and II of the plans marked
M.D. 3385 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of con-
structing or erecting thereon a wharf, as shown on sheet III;
such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensees upon
and subject to the following terms and conditions, that is
to say:—
-
In these conditions the term “Minister” means the
Minister of Marine, as defined by the Shipping and Seamen
Act, 1908, and includes any officer, person, or authority
acting by or under the direction of such Minister. -
The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the

erecti on of such wharf, which are shown on the plans
marked M.D. 3385, sheets I and II, and deposited in the
office of the Marine Department as aforesaid. -

through, over, and out of the said wharf without payment. -
The licensees shall complete the erection of the said
wharf in accordance with the approved plans marked M.D.
3385, within twelve calendar months from the date of this
Order in Council. -
The licensees shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf
in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit
therefrom, and maintain at their own cost, suitable and
necessary lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that
no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved
of by the Minister. -
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 licensees a notice
in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf,
requiring them, within a reasonable time, to be therein pre-
scribed, to make good the same, they shall with all con-
venient speed cause such defect to be removed or such re-
pairs to be made, as the case may be. -
Nothing herein contained shall authorise the licensees
to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or incon-
sistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regula-
tions of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions
of the Harbours Act, 1908, or its amendments, or any regu-
lations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter
be in force. -
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 licensees shall not
assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or
privilege without the written consent of the Minister first
obtained. -
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 licensees 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
licensees. -
The licensees shall be liable for any injury which the
said wharf may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through
any default or neglect on their part. -
In case the licensees shall—
(1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions herein-
before set forth, or any of them;
(2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for the pur-
poses aforesaid;
(3.) Become bankrupt, or be brought under the opera-
tion of any Act for the time being relating to
bankruptcy,
then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council,
and every license, right, power, or privilege thereby con-
ferred, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in
Council without any notice to the licensees or other proceed-
ing whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette
of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be
sufficient notice to the licensees, and to all persons concerned
or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license,
rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have
been revoked and determined.
- The erection of the said wharf shall be sufficient
evidence of the acceptance by the licensees of the terms
and conditions of this Order in Council.
