ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 21st day of
July, 1924.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.

WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered
to grant the license hereinafter mentioned under the
Harbours Act, 1923 (hereinafter called “the said Act”),
Alfred Subritzky, of Tekopuru (who with his executors,
administrators, and assigns, is hereinafter referred to as “the
licensee”), has applied to the Governor-General in Council
for a license under the said Act to use and occupy a part of
the foreshore and land below low-water mark at Tekopuru,
Wairoa River, in order to erect and maintain a wharf thereon ;
and, in accordance with the one-hundred-and-seventy-first
section of the said Act, has deposited a plan in the office of
the Marine Department at Wellington (marked M.D. 5851),
showing the area of foreshore and land below low-water
mark intended to be occupied, and the manner in which it
is proposed to erect the said wharf.

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 ;

And whereas it is expedient that a license should be granted
and issued to the licensee under the said Act, for the purposes
aforesaid, 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 acting by and with the advice and consent of the Execu-
tive 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 that part of the fore-
shore and land below low-water mark on which the said
wharf is to be erected, as shown on the plan M.D. 5851 so
deposited as aforesaid, for the purpose of erecting and main-
taining the said wharf ; such license to be held and enjoyed
by the licensee upon and subject to the terms and con-
ditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.

6. The licensee shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf
   in good order and repair ; and shall at all times exhibit there-

   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 wharf 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 wharf, requiring the licensee, within a reason-
   able time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the wharf, the

    may be required to remove the wharf at the licensee’s
    own cost, without payment of any compensation whatever,
    on giving to the licensee 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 licensee in New Zealand.

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

    then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and
    every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred,
    may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General in
    Council without any notice to the licensee or other proceed-
    ings whatsoever ; and publication in the New Zealand Gazette
    of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be
    sufficient notice to the licensee, and to all persons concerned
    or interested, that this Order in Council, and the license,
    rights, and privileges thereby granted and conferred, have
    been revoked and determined.

14. In the event of this Order in Council being revoked
    for any reason whatsoever, or upon the expiry of the period
    for which the license is granted, the licensee shall, if required
    by the Minister so to do, remove the said wharf entirely from
    the site and restore the site to its original condition within
    three months from the date of revocation or expiry, as the
    case may be ; and, if the licensee fails so to do, the
    Minister may cause the said wharf to be removed and the
    site so restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the
    said removal and restoration from the licensee.

15. The erection of the said wharf shall be sufficient
    evidence of the acceptance by the licensee of the terms
    and conditions of this Order in Council.
