At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this third day

Present :

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered
to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under
the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”),
the Raglan County Council (hereinafter called “the Coun-
cil”) has applied to the Governor in Council for a license
under the said Act to occupy a part of the foreshore and land

with the one hundred and fiftieth section of the said Act,
has deposited plans in the office of the Marine Department
at Wellington, marked M.D. 4592, showing the area of fore-
shore intended to be occupied :

And whereas it has been made to appear that the said

And whereas it is expedient that a license should be granted

and that dues and rates should be prescribed for the use
of the said wharf :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Do-

exercise of the said power and authority, and with the like
advice and consent as aforesaid, doth hereby license and
permit the Council to use and occupy that part of the fore-
shore, and land below low-water mark immediately con-
tiguous thereto, which is particularly shown and delineated
on the plans so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of
using the aforesaid wharf in connection therewith, such
license to be held and enjoyed by the Council upon and
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the First
Schedule hereto ; and doth hereby prescribe that all the
dues and rates set forth in the Second Schedule hereto shall,
on and after the date of publication of this Order in Council

Council for the use of the said wharf.
