And whereas it is expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the licensee 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 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 licensee 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 licensee to use and occupy those parts of the foreshore and of land below low-water mark which are particularly shown on the plans marked M.D. 1847, 1859, and 2368, so deposited as aforesaid, as sites for wharves, and which said license shall be held and enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the following terms and conditions.

1. In these conditions the term “Minister” means the Minister of Marine as defined by the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908, and includes any officer, person, or authority acting by or under the direction of such Minister.

2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the foreshore and land below low-water mark necessary for sites for such wharves, shown on the plans marked M.D. 1847, 1859, and 2368, and deposited in the office of the Marine Department as aforesaid.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council, the licensee shall pay the sum of £2 10s., and shall pay to the Minister an annual sum of £5, dating from the 1st day of August, 1921, the first of such annual payments to be made on the licensee being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

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

5. His Majesty or the Governor-General, and all officers in the Government service acting in the execution of their duty, shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress into, through, and out of the said wharves without payment.

6. The licensee shall maintain the above-mentioned wharves in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit therefrom, and maintain at his 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.

7. Any person authorized by the Minister may, at all reasonable times, enter upon the said wharves and view the state of repair thereof, and upon such Minister leaving at or posting to the last known address of the licensee in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such wharves, requiring him, within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to make good the same, he shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made, as the case may be.

8. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the licensee to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulations 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.

9. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said wharves, or any one of them, shall be taken away by the licensee and deposited above high-water mark, or at such place as may be approved of by the Harbourmaster at Kaipara, by the Minister, or by any person appointed by the Minister for that purpose.

The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or under this Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen years from the 1st day of August, 1921, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent authority; and the licensee shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensee six 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 licensee in New Zealand.

12. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which the said wharves may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through default or neglect on his part.

13. In case the licensee shall—
