ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 17th day of January, 1923.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council dated the second day of September, one thousand nine hundred and seven, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 78, of the fifth day of the same month, William Alexander Hoey and Henry Hoey, of Whangarei (hereinafter called “the licensees”), were licensed under the Harbours Act, 1908 (hereinafter called “the said Act”), to occupy part of the foreshore as shown on plan marked M.D. 3081 and deposited in the office of the Marine Department at Wellington, in order to erect and maintain thereon a foot-bridge over the Waiarohia River, in Whangarei Harbour, for a period of fourteen years:

And whereas the said license having expired, and the licensees have applied for a renewal thereof, and it is desirable so to do:

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 with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby license and permit the licensees to use and occupy that part of the foreshore which is particularly shown and delineated on plan marked M.D. 3081 so deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of maintaining thereon a foot-bridge, such license to be held and enjoyed by the licensees upon and subject to the following terms and conditions.

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 that part of the foreshore shown on the said plan marked M.D. 3081.

3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council the licensees shall, on being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council, pay to the Minister the sum of £1, and thereafter an annual sum of 5s. in advance, payable on the 1st day of April in each year, the proportionate part of such rental in respect of the period from the date hereof until the 31st day of March following to be paid 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 a period of six years computed from the 2nd day of September, 1921, 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.

5. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, and the licensees may be required to remove the foot-bridge at their own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensees three 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 licensees in New Zealand.

6. The licensees shall be liable for any injury which may be sustained by any vessel or boat in passing the foot-bridge, or by contact with it, and which may be occasioned by any default or neglect on their part.

7. In case the licensees shall—
   (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them;
   (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said foot-bridge for a period of thirty days;
   (3.) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause 3 of these conditions;
   (4.) Become bankrupt, or be in any manner brought under the operation of any law in force for the time being relating to bankruptcy,—
   then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and every right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General in Council without any notice to the licensees or other proceeding whatsoever; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the licensees, and 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 foot-bridge and all other erections or buildings thereto belonging to be removed, and may recover the cost incurred by any such removal from the licensees.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this 17th day of January, 1923.

Present:

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE W. F. MASSEY, P.C., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS the Egmont County Council, acting under and in pursuance of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, proposes to raise a loan of eight hundred pounds for the purpose of erecting a worker’s dwelling:

And whereas the special order authorizing the raising of the loan is irregular, in so far that public notification of the time and place fixed for the confirmation of the said special order, although given four times, did not comply with the provisions of section ninety-nine of the Counties Act, 1920:

And whereas it appears that the ratepayers have not been misled by the said irregularity, and it is expedient to validate the same:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on him by section one hundred and eleven of the Local Bodies’ Loans Act, 1913, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby order and declare that the proceedings taken to raise the said loan shall be valid to all intents and purposes as though public notification of the special order had been correctly given, and that the validity of the proceedings in connection with the said loan shall not be called into question by reason only of the irregularity aforesaid.

F. D. THOMSON,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
