    in Council shall extend and apply only to that part of the

    errection or construction of the said works as shown on the plan
    marked M.D. 6983, deposited as aforesaid, in the office of the

    from the date hereof until the 31st March following to be
    paid on the licensees being supplied with a copy of this Order
    in Council.

  4. His Majesty or the Governor-General, and all officers in

    payment of the proper dues, have free and full liberty to use
    the said wharf and all rights of ingress and egress thereon
    and therefrom, and all vessels shall have full liberty, without

    entrance thereof to its junction with the channel leading to
    the public wharf at Miranda.

  6. The licensees shall maintain the said works in good
    order and repair, and shall at all times exhibit therefrom and
    maintain at their own cost suitable and necessary lights on
    the wharf, at the entrance to the channel, and at the junction
    of the channel with that leading to the public wharf at
    Miranda, for the guidance of vessels: Provided that no light
    shall be exhibited until after it has been approved of by the
    Minister.

  7. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all
    reasonable times enter upon the said works, and view the
    state of repair thereof; and upon such Minister leaving at
    or posting to the last known address of the licensees in New
    Zealand a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair
    in such works, requiring the licensees within a reasonable
    time, to be therein prescribed, to repair the same, the
    licensees shall with all convenient speed cause such defect to
    be removed or such repairs to be carried out, as the case
    may be.

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

  9. The ballast of all vessels loading at the said wharf shall
    be taken away by the licensees and deposited above high-
    water mark or at such place as may be approved of by the
    Minister, or by any person appointed by the Minister for that
    purpose.

  10. The rights, powers, and privileges conferred by this
    Order in Council shall continue in force for fourteen days
    from the date hereof, unless in the meantime such rights,
    powers, and privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked
    by competent authority, and the licensees shall not assign,
    charge, or part with any such rights, powers, or privileges
    without the previous written consent of the Minister first
    obtained.

  11. The said rights, powers, and privileges may be at any
    time resumed by the Governor-General, without payment of
    any compensation whatever, on giving to the licensees 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 licensees in
    New Zealand.

  12. The licensees shall be liable for any injury which the
    said works may cause any vessel or boat to sustain through
    any default or neglect on the part of the licensees.

  13. In case the licensees shall—
    (1) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinafter
    set forth, or any of them; or
    (2) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf or other works
    for a period of thirty days; or

    ditions; or

    every license, right, power, or privilege thereby conferred
    may be revoked and determined by the Governor-General
    in Council without any notice to the licensees or other pro-
    ceeding whatsoever; and publication in the Gazette of any
    Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient
    notice to the licensees and to all persons concerned or in-
    terested, that this Order in Council and the license, rights,
    and privileges thereby 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 licensees shall, if required
    by the Minister so to do, remove the said works 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 licensees fail so to do, the Minister
    may cause the said works to be removed and the site so
    restored, and may recover the costs incurred by the said
    removal and restoration from the licensees.

  15. The licensees shall execute a bond in such form and
    for such amount as may be approved by the Minister as a
    guarantee of the due performance by them of the duties
    imposed upon them by clause 14 hereof.

  16. The construction of the said works or any of them shall
    be sufficient evidence of the acceptance by the licensees of
    the terms and conditions of this Order in Council.
