SCHEDULE.

DESCRIPTION OF BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPOSED BOROUGH OF GERALDINE.

All that area in the Canterbury Land District, situated in Geraldine Survey District, bounded towards the north-east by the northern side of the North Town Belt of the Town of Geraldine from a point in line with the western side of the West Town Belt, Town of Geraldine, to the westernmost corner of Section No. 14 of the Town of Geraldine; thence by the northern boundary-line of the said Section No. 14 and the said boundary-line produced to the eastern side of the thoroughfare known as Waihi Terrace Road, Town of Geraldine; thence towards the east by the said eastern side of Waihi Terrace Road to the south-western corner of Reserve No. 755; thence towards the north-west by the last-mentioned reserve to the right bank of the Waihi River; thence again towards the east by the said right bank of the Waihi River to a point in line with the north-western boundary-line of Rural Section No. 10309; thence towards the south-east by a right line to and by the said north-western boundary-line of the said Rural Section No. 10309 to the easternmost corner of Rural Section No. 9949; thence towards the south-west by the last-mentioned section to the southern side of Pleasant Valley Road; thence again towards the south-east by the southern side of the said Pleasant Valley Road to a point in line with the south-western side of Pye’s Road (which forms the north-eastern boundaries of Rural Sections Nos. 10735 and 10870); thence again towards the south-west by a right line to and by the said south-western side of Pye’s Road to a point in line with the south-eastern boundary-line of Rural Section No. 16801; thence towards the west generally by a right line across Pye’s Road to the south-eastern corner of Rural Section No. 16801, and by the said Section No. 16801, and Rural Section No. 21616, to Raukapuka Downs Road; thence by a right line across that road to the southernmost corner of Rural Section No. 8890; and thence by the said Section No. 8890, and by Rural Section No. 7456, by the crossing of a road, and again by the last-mentioned section and the crossing of Mill Road to the northern side of the North Town Belt of the Town of Geraldine, the place of commencement.

Colonial Secretary.

The Hawera County Electric Company (Limited) authorised to erect Electric Lines within certain Parts of the County of Hawera and Surrounding Districts.

IN exercise of the power and authority conferred upon me by “The Electric Lines Act, 1884,” I, Joseph George Ward, the Electric Telegraph Commissioner appointed under the said Act, do hereby authorise and license the Hawera County Electric Company (Limited) to erect, construct, and maintain electric lines for lighting and power purposes within the area of supply as defined in section 13 of “The Hawera County Electric Lighting Act, 1902,” and which electric lines are indicated by green and violet lines shown on the nine maps, marked A to I, inclusive, deposited in the office of the Superintendent of Electric Lines, and signed by me as such Commissioner as aforesaid, subject to the following conditions, viz:—

1. The system for the transmission of electrical energy shall be that known as the three-phase three-wire system.

2. Three-phase alternators, star wound, with stationary armature and revolving field magnets, shall be installed, generating and delivering through the switchboard current at a frequency of 50 complete cycles per second to the transmission-wires at a pressure not exceeding 5,500 volts between any two of the three wires on each circuit.

3. Each alternator shall be equipped with a separate switchboard panel, on which will be mounted one triple-pole oil-break switch, triple-pole fuses, voltmeter, ammeter exciter shunt regulating resistance, and field regulating resistance.

4. The switchboard shall be of polished marble, supported by a substantial iron frame. Connections between the alternators and the switchboard panels shall be made by highly insulated cables run underground in troughs filled in with Trinidad bitumen, or by any other approved and satisfactory method. The current shall be conveyed from the switchboard through fuses and triple pole switches in oil to the lines by highly insulated cables, supported on efficient porcelain insulators.

5. There shall be two “extra-high pressure” transmission-lines; one from the power-station situated near Okaiawa, to Normanby and Hawera, the other from the power-station to Okaiawa and Manaia.

6. The extra-high-tension transmission-wires may be bare, and shall be run on iron or wooden poles, the spans between which shall not be of greater length than 2 chains. The wires shall be of high-conductivity hard-drawn copper, of a suitable gauge for carrying the current required along the respective routes. The transmission-wires on the lines to Hawera and Manaia shall not be of smaller gauge than No. 8 and No. 12 standard wire gauge respectively.

7. The transmission-wires along both routes shall be supported on high-tension triple-shed porcelain insulators, with iron stems fitting into cross-arms of suitable material and cross-section.

8. The minimum height above the ground of all transmission-wires shall be 18 ft., except at road-crossings, where the minimum height shall be 22 ft.

9. Below the transmission-wires on each route two copper wires, which may be bare, shall be run, one of not less than No. 8, and the other, which shall be used as a telephone wire, of not less than No. 12 standard wire gauge; and they shall be not less than 16 ft. above the ground at their lowest point. Where iron poles or poles partly of wood and partly of iron are used for supporting the transmission-wires each pole shall be electrically connected with the No. 8 copper wire, which shall be effectively earthed at each end of each route, at Normanby and Okaiawa, and at such other intermediate points along each route as may be found to be necessary. At all road-crossings the minimum height of the telephone and earthing wires shall be 20 ft.

10. Under and close to each transmission-wire insulator there shall be placed an iron earthing-device of suitable cross-section, electrically connected to the earthed No. 8 copper wire, so arranged as to effectively earth the trans-
