ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House, at Wellington, this twenty-third
day of September, 1891.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers vested in him by
"The Electric Lines Act, 1884," and of all other powers
enabling him in that behalf, His Excellency the Right
Honourable William Hillier, Earl of Onslow, the Governor
of the Colony of New Zealand, doth, with the advice and
consent of the Executive Council of the said colony, hereby
prescribe the fees and charges contained in the Schedule
hereto in relation to the use of the Government telephones
wherever established in this colony in connection with the
telephone exchanges and otherwise; and doth further order
and declare that such regulations shall take effect on and
after the first day of October, one thousand eight hundred
and ninety-one, and shall, on and from such last-mentioned
date, supersede all prior regulations made in relation to
charges for the use of telephones within the colony in con-
nection with telephone exchanges and bureau stations and
for private wires.

SCHEDULE.
REGULATIONS.

1. At any place where telephone exchanges have been
   established, Edison-Bell or any other approved telephones
   connected with the exchanges will be placed in offices or
   private residences within a reasonable distance of the cen-
   tral office, so that subscribers can converse with other sub-
   scribers at their offices or residences.

2. Every person desiring to hire any telephone instruments
   or set of telephones connected with a telephone exchange
   shall make application to the Superintendent of Electric
   Lines on the form supplied for that purpose by the depart-
   ment.

3. All applicants for connection with a telephone exchange,
   in addition to the rates in force for connection with an ex-
   change, will be required to pay an entrance-fee of £1 when
   delivering the application for connection.

4. Subscribers at each exchange will be furnished with a
   list of persons with whom they may communicate by tele-
   phone, and, as new subscribers are connected with the system
   from time to time, notification of the fact will be given by
   the department.

5. The Electric Telegraph Commissioner or Superintendent
   of Electric Lines may exclude from the telephone exchange
   any subscriber who allows the telephone instruments in his
   custody or control to be damaged or destroyed, or put to any
   improper use, and may remove or cause to be removed any
   instruments allotted to the use of such subscriber, who shall
   have no claim for damages or otherwise in consequence of
   the removal or exclusion of the instruments under such
   circumstances.

6. All charges payable in respect of the hire of any tele-
   phone instruments shall be paid half-yearly in advance
   for distances up to two miles and under, and for distances
   over two miles, quarterly in advance, the first payment to
   commence from the date when the connection with the tele-
   phone exchange is completed.

7. If such payment be not made within one week after
   demand, the connection with the exchange may, at the dis-
   cretion of the said Superintendent, be discontinued without
   prejudice to any proceedings for the recovery of any moneys
   then due or otherwise.

CHARGES.

On and after the 1st October, 1891, in addition to the
entrance-fee of £1, the charge per annum payable in respect
of the hire of any telephone instrument connected
with a Government telephone exchange shall be as fol-
lows:—

To every subscriber for a single wire, £5 per annum as
from the date of connection.

The above rate is for connection with a telephone exchange
of warehouses, stores, shops, and business places not more
than half a mile from the exchange, and of private residences
not more than one mile from the exchange.

For every additional mile or fraction thereof, for each year
commencing from the date of connection, and for every fol-
lowing year, £1.

Where any connection with an exchange is over two miles
in length, the applicant will be required to hold the same for
five years, and where the line is two miles and under the
term will be one year.

If a connection with a telephone exchange necessitates
the erection of a new line of poles beyond the two miles, then
the additional charge for every mile after the second mile
will be at the rate of £2 10s. for every such mile or fraction
thereof.

In the event of such line being used for additional wires a
proportionate reduction will be made to the original sub-
scriber for every wire so erected, but in no case will the re-
duction be more than £1 10s. per mile after the second mile
or fraction thereof.
