REGULATIONS

Under “Watermen’s Licensing Ordinance,
1863,” for the Lake Wakatipu.

1. No person licensed under the
   “Watermen’s Licensing Ordinance,
   1863,” shall use any rowing or sailing
   boat on the Lake Wakatipu, for the
   carriage or conveyance of passengers or
   goods, unless such boat has been first ap-
   proved of in writing by the person
   authorised to grant licenses in the
   Wakatipu District; and if any such
   licensed person shall be found using, or
   shall be employed as hired servant, in
   any such boat, for such purpose, he shall
   be liable to a penalty of Forty Shillings,
   and his license may be forfeited in the
   discretion of the person before whom the
   penalty shall be recovered.

2. The person authorised to grant
   licenses in the Wakatipu District may,
   if he think fit, withdraw his written ap-
   proval of any such boat if he shall at any
   time afterwards, upon examination, find
   the boat is not in good condition, and in
   every way fit and safe for the carriage of
   passengers and goods.

3. The person authorised to grant li-
   censes in the Wakatipu District, shall keep
   a register of all rowing and sailing boats,
   approved of by him and shall in such
   register and in such written approval
   enter the tonnage of such sailing vessels.

4. All boats to be employed in carrying
   goods or passengers to any distance beyond
   half a mile from the shore of the Lake,
   or from any landing place on the Lake,
   shall be decked, and of not less than five
   tons according to the register kept by such
   authorised person as aforesaid, and if any
   person shall carry for hire cargo or pas-
   sengers in a boat not decked, or of less
   tonnage than five tons, to a greater distance
   than half a mile from the shore, or from
   any such landing place, such person shall
   be liable to a penalty of Forty Shillings.

5. All boats carrying goods or pas-
   sengers on the said Lake, to be allowed to
   carry three passengers for every ton, when
   such space is not occupied with cargo, the

tonnage of every vessel to be deemed and
taken to be that entered in the register of
such authorised person as aforesaid.

6. If such boat shall at any time have on
   board a greater number of passengers than
   the number allowed by the 5th Regula-
   tion, the boatman or boatmen using or
   having the charge thereof, shall forfeit
   and pay a penalty of Forty Shillings.

7. The license to ply for hire shall be
   granted annually, and no person shall re-
   ceive any such license, until he has been
   examined by the person authorised to
   grant licenses for the Wakatipu District,
   and shall have obtained a certificate from
   such examiner, that he thoroughly under-
   stands the management of a boat. Pro-
   vided that such authorised person instead
   of himself examining such person, may
   require him to produce a certificate of
   competency from the Harbor Master or
   Deputy-Harbor Master of the Port of
   Otago.

8. The license to be granted shall be in
   the form in Schedule A to these Re-
   gulations, and before the same shall be
   granted, there shall be paid a fee of Five
   Shillings for the same, to such authorised
   person as aforesaid.

9. Every licensed boatman shall have
   the name and number of his boat legibly
   painted on the inside of the sternsheets
   of such boat, or on the after part of the
   combinings of the main hatch of a sailing
   vessel, decked, under a penalty of Forty
   Shillings.

10. No boats whatever are to be made
    fast to any steps or landing place, or to be
    kept longer at such landing place or steps,
    than required for landing their passengers
    or goods, under a penalty of Forty
    Shillings.
