Power to make bye-laws.

64.—(1) The Board in addition to its power by virtue of this Act to make bye-laws under section 83 of the Harbours, Docks and Piers Clauses Act, 1847 , may make bye-laws under its seal for any of the purposes enumerated in the Second Schedule hereto and the provisions as to bye-laws of sections 84, 86 and 87 of the said Act, shall apply, subject to the provisions of this section, to all bye-laws to be made by the Board; but nothing in the said section 86 contained shall be construed to require the Minister to hear orally any application for the confirmation of bye-laws, or to hear any objection thereto orally.

(2) No bye-laws made by the Board, whether under the said Act or under this section, except such as relate only to the Board or its officers or servants, shall come into operation until they shall have been confirmed under the seal of the Minister, whose confirmation shall be sufficient for all purposes.

(3) All bye-laws made by the Board shall be printed and the Secretary of the Board shall deliver a print to every person applying for the same and it shall be his duty at all times to keep the bye-laws in force plainly exhibited in the principal office of the Board and at some conspicuous place on the quays of the Harbour.

(4) The Board may in its discretion revoke any bye-laws, but subject to the approval of the Minister confirmed under his seal in the case of any bye-law which does not relate only to the Board or its officers or servants.

(5) The Board may from time to time make Standing Orders under its seal, not inconsistent with the provisions of this Act, for the regulation of its own procedure.
