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 plans have, prior to the making of this Order in Council, been approved by the Governor-General in Council, without modification or addition :
And whereas it is expedient that a license under the said Act, for the purpose aforesaid, should be granted and issued to the Council on the terms and conditions hereinafter expressed :
