Present:
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS it is enacted by section two hundred and eighty-seven of the Shipping and Seamen Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), that the Governor-General, by Order in Council, may from time to time fix the various rate of lighthouse dues, not exceeding those specified in the Thirteenth Schedule of the Act, which shall be payable at any port in the Dominion in respect of all ships arriving at and of all ships leaving such port, and in like manner may increase, reduce, or abolish such dues:
And whereas it is advisable to abolish all lighthouse dues at present in force and to fix others in lieu thereof:
Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in exercise of the power and authority conferred upon him by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby abolish all lighthouse dues at present in force, and doth also order that the lighthouse dues which are specified in the third column of the Schedule hereto shall be collected on arrival at the ports specified in the first column of the said Schedule.
And, further, His Excellency the Governor-General doth order that any vessel from any place out of New Zealand first arriving at a port where lighthouse dues are not charged for such voyage shall, on arriving at any other port where lighthouse dues are chargeable on vessels arriving from such voyage, be charged the same rate as if she had arrived from such place direct.
And, further, His Excellency the Governor-General doth order that any vessel from any place out of New Zealand first arriving at any port in New Zealand where lighthouse dues are payable on vessels arriving from such voyage shall be charged the dues fixed for such voyage, and thereafter, on arrival on the same voyage at each port in New Zealand where lighthouse dues are payable, such vessel shall be charged dues at the rate fixed for home-trade ships; and that vessels arriving at any port in New Zealand from the Chatham Islands, the Auckland Islands, Campbell Islands, Antipodes Islands, or Bounty Islands shall be charged dues at the rate fixed for home-trade ships:
And, with the like advice and consent, His Excellency the Governor-General doth further order that this Order in Council shall come into force on the first day of April next.
