And whereas the Ohakune Borough Council (which with its successors and assigns is hereinafter referred to as “the Council”) has applied for a license under the said section to take and use water from the Mangawhero River, in the Provincial District of Wellington (hereinafter referred to as “the said river”), for the purpose of generating electricity as aforesaid, and it is expedient to issue such license accordingly:
