ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this second day of May, 1916.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING 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 Hobson County Council (hereinafter called “the Council”) 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 at Horehore, opposite Mount Wesley, in order to erect and maintain a wharf and ferry slip 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. 4600 (in duplicate), 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 said wharf and ferry slip:

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 Council under the said Act, for the purpose last aforesaid, on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

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 acting 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 Council 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 Council to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark on which the said wharf and ferry slip is to be erected, as shown on plan marked M.D. 4600 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting and maintaining the said wharf and ferry slip; such license to be held and enjoyed by the Council upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

———

SCHEDULE.

2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall extend and apply only to that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto necessary for the erection of the said wharf and ferry slip, as shown on the plan marked M.D. 4600.

3. All persons shall at all reasonable times, upon payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use the said wharf and ferry slip, and all rights of ingress and egress thereon and therefrom.

5. The Council shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf and ferry slip in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit from the wharf and ferry slip, and maintain at its own cost suitable and necessary lights for the guidance of vessels; provided that no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved of by the Minister.

6. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and ferry slip and view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the Council in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharf and ferry slip, requiring it, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, it shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

7. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the Council to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1908, or its amendments, or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

10. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the Council three calendar months’ previous notice in writing. Any such notice shall be sufficient if given by the Minister and delivered at or posted to the last known address of the Council in New Zealand.

11. The Council shall be liable for any injury which the said wharf and ferry slip may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through any default or neglect on its part.

12. In case the Council shall—
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them; or
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf and ferry slip for a period of thirty days;
    then and in either of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, or privilege thereby conferred, may be revoked and determined by the Governor in Council without any notice to the Council or other proceedings whatever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the Council, and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.
