Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS it is enacted by section two hundred and seven of the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), that a Harbour Board shall have power, by by-laws under the said Act, to do all or any of the things mentioned within the limits of the harbour, including, amongst other things, power to regulate the use of wharves and other landing-places, and generally regulate the traffic on the same, fix scales of dues, tolls, and charges to be paid for the use of wharves, and fix scales of dues for the storage of goods, and otherwise as mentioned in the said section :

And whereas it is enacted by section nine of the said Act that in harbours where there is no Harbour Board the Governor-General in Council shall have all the powers, functions, duties, and authorities by the said Act conferred upon Harbour Boards, and may exercise the same in accordance with the said Act under regulations to be made in the manner provided in section two hundred and seven :

And whereas, by Order in Council dated the fourteenth day of July, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 56, of the seventeenth day of the same month, the Waiapu County Council (hereinafter called “the Council”) was licensed to use and occupy a part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark at Te Araroa, Waiapu County, as a site for a wharf :

And whereas, there being no Harbour Board for Te Araroa harbour, the Council has asked that certain regulations may be made and dues fixed for the use of the said wharf under the control of the Council, and it is desirable that this be done :

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the hereinbefore-recited power and authority, 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 make the following regulations with respect to the said harbour, and to the wharf therein which is under the control of the Council.

No claim will be entertained by the Council in respect to goods landed unless such claim has been received by the Chairman of the Council in writing within thirty days after the departure from the berth of discharge of the vessel out of which such goods were, or are alleged to have been, landed, and then only in cases of proved negligence.

6. The Council will not be responsible for the wrong delivery or non-delivery of goods which are erroneously or deficiently marked, or which have old or imperfectly erased marks thereon.
