the licensee of any of the powers granted by this license.

If the licensee fails or neglects to observe any of the con-
ditions or obligations imposed by this license, then, and in

or obligation.

The Inspecting Engineer of the Public Works Department
or any other person empowered in that behalf by the Minister

may from time to time be imposed by the Bay of Islands
County Council.
