(f.) Any special conditions or provisions which the applicant may propose by reason
of any special circumstances arising from the locality, the situation, or the con-
struction of any buildings or works or otherwise.

100. In forwarding an application for a license the applicant must also produce evidence
     to the Minister that the issue of a license will not be contrary to the provisions of any by-law made
     by the local authority of the district in which it is proposed to establish the magazine.

101. The Minister, after considering the application, may either refuse to issue a license or
     may approve of the draft license with or without modification or addition.

102. An application to use a hulk or other floating vessel as a private magazine for the
     storage of explosives shall be made as far as applicable in the same manner as an application for
     a private magazine as hereinbefore directed; and the whole hulk or other floating vessel in or
     on board which explosives are stored shall be deemed to constitute the magazine, and each cabin,
     hold, or any part of the same in which explosives are kept or are liable to be so kept, and every
     other part which may be specified in that behalf in the license shall be deemed to be a danger
     building.

103. On the approval of an application for a license the applicant shall complete the maga-
     zine and the arrangement thereof in accordance with the terms of the proposed license, and to
     the satisfaction of an Inspector of Explosives, who shall then issue the license as directed by the
     Minister.

104. Neither the magazine nor any part thereof shall be used for any purpose not in accord-
     ance with the license.

105. The conditions of the license shall be duly observed, and the keeping or any work con-
     nected with the keeping of explosives shall not be carried on except in accordance with those
     conditions. If any breach of such conditions occurs the license will be liable to be immediately
     cancelled, and a breach of any of the conditions of the license shall be deemed to be a breach of
     these regulations.

106. The magazine and every part thereof shall be maintained in accordance with the
     license, and in the case of a magazine on land no material alteration in the magazine, either by
     enlarging or adding to the site, or by externally enlarging or adding to any building, or by
     altering any mound otherwise than by enlargement, or by making any new work shall be made
     except with the approval in writing of an Inspector of Explosives. No alterations or additions
     on any hulk or other floating vessel used as a magazine shall be made without the approval in
     writing of an Inspector of Explosives.

107. Every building in which explosives are kept or are intended to be kept shall be deemed
     to be a danger building, and shall be used only for the keeping of explosives and the tools or
     implements for work connected with the keeping of such explosives. The interior of every danger
     building and the benches, shelves, and fittings therein shall be so constructed, or so lined or
     covered, as to prevent the exposure of any iron or steel, or the detaching of any grit, iron, steel,
     or similar substance in such manner that such iron, steel, grit, or similar substance may come
     into contact with explosives or any ingredients thereof in such danger building; and the interior
     of such danger building, and the benches, shelves, and fittings therein, shall, so far as is reason-
     ably practicable, be kept free from grit and otherwise clean.

108. Every danger building shall be protected by sufficient lightning-conductors unless an
     Inspector of Explosives considers a conductor unnecessary, and the nature of such building shall
     be indicated by a signboard conspicuously displayed, on which are legibly painted the words
     “Danger Building—Explosives.” The signboard shall be not less in size than 1 ft. 6 in. long
     by 1 ft. broad.

109. Charcoal, whether ground or otherwise, or oiled cotton, or oiled rags, or oiled waste,
     or any article liable to spontaneous ignition shall not be taken into any danger building.

110. There shall be constantly kept affixed to every danger building, either outside or inside,
     in such manner as to be easily read, a statement of the quantities of explosives or ingredients
     allowed to be in the building, and a copy of these regulations and of such part of the license for
     the magazine as appears to specially apply to such danger building shall be affixed thereto.

111. Before repairs or alterations are made to or in any room, or in any other part of a
     danger building, that room or part shall, so far as practicable, be cleaned by the removal there-
     from of all explosives and of any wholly or partly mixed ingredients thereof, and by the thorough
     washing-out of such room or part; and such room or part of the building after being so cleaned
     shall not be deemed to be a danger building within the meaning of these regulations until explo-
     sives, or any wholly or partly mixed ingredients thereof, are again taken into it. Except after
     such cleaning all tools and implements used in any repairs to or in any danger building shall
     be made only of wood, or copper, or brass, or some soft metal or material, or shall be covered
     with some safe and suitable material.

112. Due provision shall be made, by the use of suitable working-clothes without pockets,
     suitable shoes, searching, and otherwise, or by some of such means, for preventing the introduction
     into any danger building of fire, lucifer matches, or any substance or article likely to cause
     explosion or fire, and for preventing the introduction of any iron, steel, or grit into any part
     of the magazine where it would be likely to come into contact with explosives, or any wholly or
     partly mixed ingredients thereof; but this rule shall not prevent the introduction of any artificial
     light of such construction, position, or character as not to cause any danger of fire or explosion.
     Due precaution must be taken to exclude water from every danger building.

113. No person shall smoke in any part of or in dangerous proximity to the magazine.

114. Every carriage, boat, or other receptacle in which explosives, or any wholly or partly
     mixed ingredients thereof, are conveyed from one building to another in a magazine, or from any
     such building to any place outside of such magazine, shall be constructed without any exposed
     iron or steel in the interior thereof, and shall contain only the explosives and ingredients, and
     shall be closed or otherwise properly covered over; and the explosives and ingredients shall be
