WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered to grant the license hereinbefore mentioned, the Leyland O'Brien Timber Company (Limited), of Auckland (hereinafter called "the company"), has 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 on the Kaimarama River, Whitianga Harbour, as a site for a timber-boom; 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. 5452), showing the place where it is intended to construct such timber-boom, 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 work:
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:
