In the event of the Board at any time desiring to make alterations to the work involving a departure from the type of construction shown on the approved plans, it shall submit for the Minister’s approval plans showing such type of construction as it is proposed to adopt, and with such approval the alterations may be carried out.

Notice regarding Extensions.

31. Before commencing the erection of any part of the lines hereby authorized, or the extension or alteration of any line already erected, the Board shall give at least seven days’ notice in writing to the District Engineer of the Public Works Department at Auckland, and also to the District Engineer of the Post and Telegraph Department at Auckland, of its intention to carry out the work, and shall forward to the Minister a locality plan showing the route of any extension.

If any defect is found to exist it must be remedied forthwith, and if serious in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer the Minister may, on receipt of the report, direct the Board to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of the lines and wires or over any part thereof as to him may seem fit until such defect is repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspection shall be borne by the Board.

Compliance with Conditions.

LIVERPOOL, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this ninth day of November, 1914.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by section twenty-five of the Native Land Act, 1909, it is enacted that the Governor may by Order in Council confer upon the Native Land Court, as effectually as if the same was conferred by that Act, jurisdiction in any matter or question affecting the rights of Natives in any real or personal property, and thereupon the Court shall have full jurisdiction and power to determine that matter or question according to law:

And whereas the title to the Rangitoto B Block was duly investigated, and an order in respect thereto was made on the ninth day of September, one thousand nine hundred, under section ten of the Native Land Laws Amendment Act, 1896, in favour of the Chief Surveyor, Auckland, and several Natives of the Ngati-m-t-kore H-pu, to be held by them in trust for sale for the payment of the costs of survey and of all or any other costs incurred in or about the investigation of the title to such block, and for the payment of the balance of the proceeds of such sale to the Public Trustee, to be held by him for such persons as the Native Land Court or the Native Appellate Court should direct:

And whereas it was afterwards ascertained that there was an excess of area in the said Rangitoto B Block over that awarded by the Native Appellate Court:

And whereas as the result of an inquiry held by the Native Land Court the names of the owners of Rangitoto-Tuhua No. 45 Block were subsequently added, on the second day of November, one thousand nine hundred and seven, to the list of owners of Rangitoto B Block as exclusive owners of three hundred acres therein:

And whereas the Rangitoto B Block was subsequently vested in the Waikato-Maniapoto District Maori Land Board under Part XIV of the Native Land Act, 1909, and was afterwards sold to the Crown under Part XIX of the Native Land Act, 1909, the purchase-money being paid to the said Board:

And whereas the Waikato-Maniapoto District Maori Land Board is desirous of giving effect to the terms of the above-mentioned order of the Court dated the ninth day of September, one thousand nine hundred, in respect of the Rangitoto B Block:

And whereas doubts have arisen as to what amounts the various owners of Rangitoto B Block (including those owners who were formerly owners of Rangitoto-Tuhua No. 45 Block) are entitled to receive, after payment of the costs of survey and other costs as hereinbefore mentioned;
