HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinafter mentioned, Henry George Foster and William Ernest Telfer, trading under the style or title of Foster and Telfer (hereinafter called “the licensees”), have applied to the Governor-General in Council for a license under the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), to occupy a part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark in Whangaruru Harbour in order to construct and maintain thereon timber-booms; and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-fiftieth section of the said Act, have deposited a plan in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 5409), showing the place where it is intended to construct such timber-booms, the area of foreshore and land below low-water mark intended to be occupied for such purpose, and the manner in which it is proposed to carry out the works:

And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor-General 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-General in Council:

And whereas it is expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the licensees on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General 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 purpose or object for which the said license is required by the licensees as aforesaid; and, in further pursuance and exercise of the said power and authority, and by and with the like advice and consent as aforesaid, doth hereby license and permit the licensees to use and occupy that part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark which is particularly shown and delineated on the plan so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of constructing thereon timber-booms in accordance with the said plan, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensees upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council the licensees shall, on being supplied with a copy thereof, pay to the Minister the sum of £2 10s., and thereafter an annual sum of £2 10s. in advance, such annual payments to date from the date hereof, the first of such payments to be made on the licensees being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

4. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen years from the date hereof, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the licensees shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, and privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General in Council without any notice to the licensees or other proceedings whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensees, and to all persons concerned or interested, that this Order in Council, and the rights and privileges thereby conferred, have been revoked and determined; and upon such revocation the Minister may cause the said timber-booms to be removed, and may recover the costs incurred by any such removal from the licensees.
