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

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.
WHEREAS, there being no Harbour Board empowered
to grant the license hereinafter mentioned, the Ross
Sea Whaling Company (Limited), of Stewart Island (who with
its successors and assigns is hereinafter referred to as "the
company"), has applied to the Governor-General in Council
for a license under the Harbours Act, 1923 (hereinafter called
"the said Act"), to occupy a part of the foreshore at Kaipipi
Bay, Paterson Inlet, Stewart Island, as a site for a quay and
slipway, to be built in the position and in accordance with
plan marked M.D. 6178 (sheets 1 and 2), and deposited in the
office of the Marine Department at Wellington :

And whereas it has been made to appear to the Governor-
General in Council that the 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 desirable that a license should be granted
and issued to the company under the said Act for the purpose
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 conferred upon 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 Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby
approve of the purpose or object for which the said license
is required by the company 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 company to use and occupy that part
of the foreshore on which the said quay and slipway are to be
erected, as shown on plan marked M.D. 6178 deposited as
aforesaid, for the purpose of maintaining the said structures
thereon, such license to be held and enjoyed by the company
upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the
Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

  2. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
    in Council shall extend and apply only to that part of the
    foreshore occupied by the said quay and slipway as shown
    on the plan marked M.D. 6178 (sheet 1).

  3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted
    by this Order in Council the Company shall pay to the Minis-

    in advance, payable on the 1st day of April each year, the
    first of such payments to be paid on the company being
    supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

  4. His Majesty or the Governor-General, and all officers in
    the Government service acting in the execution of their duty,
    shall at all times have free ingress, passage, and egress into,
    through, and out of the said quay and slipway without pay-
    ment.

  5. The company shall maintain the above-mentioned quay
    and slipway in good order and repair, and shall at all times
    exhibit therefrom, and maintain at the company's own cost,
    suitable and necessary lights for the guidance of vessels;
    provided that no light shall be exhibited until after it has
    been approved by the Minister.

  6. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all
    reasonable times enter upon the said quay and slipway and
    view the state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister
    leaving at or posting to the last known registered office of the
    company in New Zealand a notice in writing of any defect
    or want of repair in such quay and slipway, requiring the
    company, within a reasonable time to be therein prescribed,
    to repair the same, the company shall with all convenient
    speed cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be
    made.

  7. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the company
    to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or incon-
    sistent with any law relating to the Customs, or with any
    provisions of the Harbours Act, 1923, or its amendments,
    or any regulations made thereunder, and that are now or
    may thereafter be in force.

  8. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said quay and
    slipway shall be taken away by the company and deposited
    above high-water-mark, or at such place as may be approved
    of by the Minister, or by any person appointed by the Minister
    for that purpose.

  9. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by or
    under this Order in Council shall continue to be in force for
    fourteen years from the 1st day of April, 1926, unless in the
    meantime such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered,
    modified or revoked by competent authority ; and the
    company shall not assign, charge, or part with any such right,
    power, or privilege, without the written consent of the Minister
    first obtained.

  10. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor-General, and the company
    may be required to move the quay and slipway at the com-
    pany's cost, without payment of any compensation whatever,
    on giving to the company 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
    registered office of the company in New Zealand.

  11. The company shall be liable for any injury which the
    said quay and slipway may cause any vessel or boat to
    sustain through any default or neglect on the company's part.

  12. In case the company shall--
    (1.) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions herein-
    before set forth, or any of them;
    (2.) Cease to use or occupy the said quay and slipway for
    a period of thirty days;
    (3.) Be in any manner wound up or dissolved ; or
    (4.) Fail to pay the sum specified in clause 3 of these
    conditions,--
    then and in any of the said cases this Order in Council, and
    every license, right, power, or privilege, may be revoked and
    determined by the Governor-General in Council without any
    notice to the company 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 company and to all persons concerned or interested
    that this Order in Council, and the license, rights, and privi-
    leges thereby granted and conferred, have been revoked and
    determined.

  13. 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 company shall, if required
    by the Minister so to do, remove the said quay and slipway
    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 company fails so to
    do, the Minister may cause the said quay and slipway to be
    removed and the site so restored, and may recover the costs
    incurred by the said removal and restoration from the
    company.

  14. The erection of the said quay and slipway shall be
    sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the company of the
    terms and conditions of this Order in Council.
