ISLINGTON, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this nineteenth day of September, 1911.

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 Act”), the Turanga Road Board (hereinafter called “the Board”) 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 in Turanga Creek, in the County of Manukau, in order to erect and maintain a wharf thereon; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fiftieth section of the said Act, has deposited a plan in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 3699) 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 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: And whereas it is expedient that a license should be granted and issued to the Board under the said Act for the purpose aforesaid, on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed, and that dues and rates should be prescribed 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 approve of the object for which the said license is required by the Board 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 Board to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto on which the wharf is to be erected, at the site shown on the plan so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting and maintaining the said wharf thereon, in accordance with the plan so deposited as aforesaid, such license to be held and enjoyed by the Board upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the First Schedule hereto; and doth hereby prescribe that the dues and rates set forth in the Second Schedule hereto shall be taken by the Board for the use of the said wharf.
