1074 APPENDIX TO BRITISH CASE. 



(<?) the applicant has filed with the Minister plans and specifica- 

 tions of the machinery to be contained in the proposed fac- 

 tory, and particulars of the reduction process ; 



(d) the applicant has satisfied the Minister that the machinery 

 proposed to be used is of a kind already proved efficient for 

 such purposes, and of the most approved type theretofore 

 used in the whaling industry. 



3. No license shall be for a period exceeding nine years; but the 

 Governor in Council may renew a license in favour of the licensee 

 from time to time for periods of nine years, upon receipt of an appli- 

 cation, in writing, for renewal, six months previously to the termina- 

 tion of the current period. 



4. The holder of any such license shall not operate more than one 

 whaling steamer in connection with the whale factory under license. 



5. The license shall become void and forfeited unless the factory 

 named therein is erected, equipped and working within two years 

 from the date of the issue of the license. 



6. The fee charged on each such license shall be eight hundred dol- 

 lars for the first year, one thousand dollars for the second year, 

 and twelve hundred dollars for the third and each ensuing year, and 

 the fee on all subsequent licenses for the same factory shall be twelve 

 hundred dollars; such fee shall be payable to the Minister of Marine 

 and Fisheries, first on the issue of the license, and on the first day of 

 July in each year thereafter: Provided that the Governor in Council, 

 after the first two years, may exact, in lieu of such fee, a sum equal 

 to two per centum of the gross earnings of each factory, which shall 

 be payable as aforesaid. 



7. Every license, upon cause shown, after one month's notice in 

 writing to the licensee, shall be liable to forfeiture for any infraction 

 of this section, or any regulation under it, or for failure to fulfil and 



carry out the assurances required by this section to be given to 

 637 the Minister previously to the issuing of a license ; and in the 



case of forfeiture, the Minister may, without any suit or other 

 proceedings at law, and without compensation, cancel the license. 



8. The Governor in Council may, from time to time, make such 

 regulations as to him seem necessary for carrying out and enforcing 

 any of the provisions of this section, and for controlling and regulat- 

 ing the manufactures carried on in the licensed factories, and the 

 disposal of all refuse therefrom. 



9. Boats known as tow-boats shall not be used by any one in the 

 prosecution of the whaling industry, and no vessel other than the 

 vessel from which the whales have been captured or killed, shall, by 

 any method or contrivance, bring or tow into port any whale for 

 manufacture or other purpose; but nothing in this section shall pre- 

 vent any one, other than the holder of a license, or his employees, 

 from towing any dead whale to land, and having it manufactured or 

 otherwise disposing of it in accordance with the provisions of this 

 section. 



10. No one shall pursue, capture, shoot or kill any whale within 

 the distance of one-half nautical mile of any vessel or boat not at 

 anchor or engaged in any kind of fishing, or within one nautical mile 

 of any vessel or boat at anchor or engaged in any kind of fishing. 



11. No one shall have in his possession, or use in the catching or 

 killing of whales any contrivance which does not include a harpoon,
