3. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted by this Order in Council the company shall pay to the Minister the sum of £2 10s., and thereafter an annual sum of £5 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 19th March, 1927, until the 31st March following to be paid on the company being supplied with a copy of this Order in Council.

6. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said timber-booms and any buildings erected on the timber-booms or in connection therewith, and view the state of repair thereof; and upon the 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 timber-booms or buildings, requiring the company within a reasonable time, to be therein prescribed, to make good or repair the same, the company shall, with all convenient speed, cause such defect to be removed or such repairs to be made.

7. The company shall cause the said timber-booms to be constructed so as to provide that there shall be no unnecessary delay in allowing the passage of vessels and boats.

8. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the company to do or cause to be done anything repugnant to or inconsistent with any law relating to the Customs, or any regulation of the Minister of Customs, or with any provisions of the Harbours Act, 1923, or its amendments, or any regulation thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

10. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred under or by virtue of this Order in Council may be at any time resumed by the Governor-General, 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.

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 timber-booms 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 fail so to do, the Minister may cause the said timber-booms to be removed and the site so restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and restoration from the company.
