6. The company shall maintain the above-mentioned jetty
   in good order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit there-

   no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved
   by the Minister.

7. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reason-
   able times enter upon the said jetty and view the state of

   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 jetty, 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.

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 with any provisions
   of the Harbours Act, 1923, or its amendments, or any regula-
   tions made thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be

    such rights, powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified,
    or revoked by competent authority; and the company shall

    privilege, without the written consent of the Minister first
    obtained.

11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor-General, and the company may
    be required to remove the jetty at the company’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.

12. The company shall be liable for any injury which the
    said jetty may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through

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 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granted and conferred, have been revoked and determined.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 company shall, if required by
    the Minister so to do, remove the said jetty 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 jetty to be removed and the site so
    restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said
    removal and restoration from the company.

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