CHARLES FERGUSSON, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this 9th day of
May, 1927.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council dated the fourth day
of August, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen,
and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 61, of the
seventh day of the same month, Peter Hansen was licensed
to use and occupy a part of the foreshore and land below
low-water mark at Rawene, in Hokianga Harbour, as a site
for a blacksmith’s shop and foundry, erected in accordance
with the plan marked M.D. 4084, and shown thereon as
Section No. 1A, and deposited in the office of the Marine
Department at Wellington, for the term of fourteen years,
computed from the fourth day of August, one thousand nine
hundred and thirteen :

And whereas the said license was, with the consent of the
Minister of Marine, transferred to Mrs. Elizabeth Cooper and
then to Frederick Charles Hargrave, of Rawene (who, with
his executors, administrators, and assigns is hereinafter re-
ferred to as “the licensee”) :

And whereas the licensee has applied for a fresh license
under the Harbours Act, 1923 (hereinafter called “the said
Act”) for a term of fourteen years, and it is advisable to grant
the same :

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 Executive 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 foreshore and land below low-water mark immediately
contiguous thereto, which is particularly shown and delineated
on the plans so deposited as aforesaid for the purpose of
using the dwellinghouse and the stores thereon, such license to
be held and enjoyed by the licensee upon and subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto.


SCHEDULE.

  1. In these conditions the term—

“Foreshore” means such parts of the bed, shore, or
banks of a tidal water as are covered and uncovered
by the flow and ebb of the tide at ordinary spring
tides :

“Low-water mark” means low-water mark at ordinary
spring tides :

“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.

  1. The concessions and privileges conferred by this Order
    in Council shall extend and apply only to the part of the
    foreshore and land below low-water mark adjacent thereto
    necessary for the maintenance of the dwellinghouse and stores,
    at the site shown as Section No. 1A on the plan marked
    M.D. 4084.

  2. In consideration of the concessions and privileges granted
    by this Order in Council the licensee shall, on being supplied
    with a copy of this Order in Council, 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.

  3. 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,
    over, and out of the said dwellinghouse and stores without
    payment.

  4. The licensee shall maintain and keep the above-mentioned
    dwellinghouse and stores and all erections on or in connection
    with the dwellinghouse and stores in good order and repair; and
    shall at all times exhibit therefrom and maintain at the
    licensee’s own cost, suitable and necessary lights for the
    guidance of vessels: provided that no new light shall be
    exhibited until after it has been approved by the Minister.

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

  6. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the licensee 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.

  7. The rights, powers, and privileges hereby conferred shall
    continue in force for fourteen years, computed from the 3rd
    day of August, 1927, unless in the meantime such rights,
    powers, and privileges, shall be altered, modified, or revoked
    by competent authority; and the licensee shall not assign,
    charge, or part with any such right, power, or privilege without
    the previous written consent of the Minister first obtained.

  8. 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 compensa-
    tion 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.

  9. The licensee shall be liable for any injury which may
    be caused at the said dwellinghouse and stores to any vessel
    or boat through any default or neglect on the part of the
    licensee.

  10. In case the licensee 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 dwellinghouse and stores
    for a period of thirty days;
    (3) Fail to pay the sums specified in clause 3 of these
    conditions; or
    (4) Become bankrupt or be brought under the operation of
    any law for the time being in force relating to bank-
    ruptcy,

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 licensee or any other proceeding 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.

  1. 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 dwellinghouse and stores
    entirely from the site, and restore the site to its original con-
    dition within three months from the date of the revocation or
    expiry, as the case may be; and if the licensee fail so to do, the
    Minister may cause the said dwellinghouse and stores to be
    removed and the site so restored, and may recover the costs
    incurred by the said removal and restoration from the licensee.

Clerk of the Executive Council.
