Nov. 2.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 3007

  1. His Majesty or the Governor-General, and all officers
    in the Government service, acting in the execution of their
    duty, shall at all reasonable times have free ingress, passage,
    and egress into, through, over, and out of the said wharf
    without payment.

  2. The Board shall maintain the above-mentioned wharf
    in good order and repair; and shall at all times exhibit
    therefrom and maintain at the Board’s own cost suitable and
    necessary lights for the guidance of vessels: Provided that
    no light shall be exhibited until after it has been approved
    of by the Minister.

  3. All dues and rates received on account of the said wharf
    by the Board shall be applied to keeping the said wharf
    and all erections on or in connection therewith in good order
    and repair and for the renewal or the extension of the said
    wharf when such is found necessary.

  4. Any person authorized by the Minister may at all reasonable times enter upon the said wharf and view the state
    of repair thereof, and upon the Minister leaving at or posting
    to the last-known address of the Board in New Zealand
    a notice in writing of any defect or want of repair in such
    wharf, requiring the Board within a reasonable time, to be
    therein prescribed, to make good or repair the same, the Board
    shall, with all convenient speed, cause such defect to be
    removed or such repairs to be made.

  5. The masters of all vessels discharging ballast at the said
    wharf shall have all such ballast taken away 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.

  6. The Board shall not erect, or suffer to be erected, on
    the said wharf, any building or structure whatever, except
    with the consent of the Minister.

  7. The Board shall keep a separate bank account for all
    receipts and expenditure in respect of the said wharf, and
    shall cause an account of such receipts and expenditure to
    be balanced to the 31st day of March in every year, and shall
    send a copy of such account when balanced to the Minister,
    and shall supply any particulars in reference thereto as may
    be required by the Minister.

  8. The Board shall appoint all officers necessary for the
    working and management of the said wharf.

  9. Nothing herein contained shall authorize the Board
    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 regulations
    thereunder, and that are now or may hereafter be in force.

  10. The rights, powers, and privileges hereby conferred
    shall continue to be in force for fourteen years from the date
    hereof, unless in the meantime such rights, powers, and
    privileges shall be altered, modified, or revoked by competent
    authority, and the Board shall not assign, charge, or part
    with any such right, power, or privilege without the previous
    written consent of the Minister first obtained.

  11. 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
    compensation whatever, on giving to the Board 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 Board in New Zealand.

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

  13. In case the Board shall—
    (1) Commit or suffer a breach of the conditions hereinbefore set forth, or any of them ; or
    (2) Cease to use or occupy the said wharf for a period of
    thirty consecutive days—
    then, and in either 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 Board or any other proceedings whatsoever;
    and publication in the Gazette of an Order in Council containing such revocation shall be sufficient notice to the Board
    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 Board shall, if required by
    the Minister so to do, remove the said wharf entirely from the
    site and restore the site to its original condition within three
    months from the date of the revocation or expiry, as the case
    may be, and if the Board fails so to do, the Minister may
    cause the said wharf to be removed and the site so restored,
    and may recover the costs incurred by the said removal and
    restoration from the Board.
