THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE.

  1. GRANTING OF OTHER WATER-RIGHTS.

Nothing herein shall prevent the Governor-General in Council from granting to any person or body corporate other than the licensee a license to take water from any portion of the said stream, except at the place where the licensee is by this license empowered to take it; provided that no such license shall so operate as to reduce the natural fall between the headworks and tail-water, or the volume of the water which the licensee is by this license authorized to take from the said stream.

  1. FINES.

If the licensee fails or neglects—
(a.) To use or maintain the said works, after completion, so as to secure the full benefit of the undertaking; or
(b.) To observe any of the conditions or obligations herein imposed,—
then and in any such case the licensee shall be liable to a fine of £50 for every week or part of a week during which such default or neglect continues; or the Governor-General may by Order in Council revoke this license.

  1. SERVICE OF NOTICE.

Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause, this license shall not be revoked, and no proceedings shall be taken for the recovery of a fine in respect of the breach thereof, unless and until notice in writing of the intention so to revoke the license or to take such proceedings has been served upon the licensee, or placed upon some principal or conspicuous part of the works, and default has been made by the licensee in repairing or remedying the breach or breaches specified in the said notice for the following periods:—
(a.) For any breach which in the opinion of the Governor-General can be met by a fine, for thirty days after the service of such notice.
(b.) For any breach which in the opinion of the Governor-General is of such a nature as to require the revocation of this license, for ninety days after the service of such notice.

  1. VARIATION IN CONDITIONS OF LICENSE.

The terms and conditions of this license may at any time or from time to time, if found necessary and if duly agreed upon between the licensee and the Governor-General in Council, be altered by the Governor-General by Order in Council, in which case particulars of such alteration or modification shall be endorsed upon this license and signed by the licensee and the Governor-General, whereupon all the terms and conditions in this license contained (save and except as they may have been so altered or modified by such alterations) shall, mutatis mutandis, apply to such alterations as if the latter had formed part of this license as originally issued.

  1. ASSIGNMENT.

This license and the benefits and obligations thereunder shall not be assigned or delegated by the licensee without the express consent in writing of the Governor-General in Council first had and obtained, upon such terms and conditions as he shall approve; but such consent shall not be withheld if it is proved to the satisfaction of the Minister that the transferee is financially and otherwise able to carry out the obligations specified under the license.

  1. SURRENDER OF LICENSE.

The licensee may at any time, with the consent of the Minister, surrender this license, and shall thereupon, if so required by the Minister, remove from the ground all removable equipment, machinery, buildings, poles, transmission-lines, and other plant herein authorized to be installed or provided. If the licensee fails or neglects so to remove the said plant within twelve months after being required so to do, such equipment, machinery, buildings, poles, lines, and other plant shall, without payment or compensation, vest in and become the property of the Crown.

  1. REQUIREMENTS OF WAIMEA COUNTY COUNCIL.

Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the licensee shall not be entitled to construct, maintain, or use the works authorized by the license within the Waimea County, except subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this license or any variation of this license, as may from time to time be agreed upon between the licensee and the Waimea County Council.

  1. COMMENCEMENT OF SUPPLY.
