order an inspection to be made of the works, lines, and wires
of the Corporation used for electric lighting and power pur-
poses. When a defect or defects are found to exist they
must be remedied forthwith, and, should they be serious in
the opinion of the officer or person inspecting, the Electric
Telegraph Commissioner may, on receipt of the report, direct
the Corporation to at once cease transmitting energy either
over the whole of the Corporation’s lines and wires, or over
any part thereof, as to him may seem fit, until such defect
or defects are repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspec-
tion shall be borne by the Corporation.

57. After the opening of the system for the supply of energy,
    an application shall be made for every further extension to
    the Inspector of Telegraphs, Dunedin, and in such application
    particulars of the proposed extension shall be given.

58. Where not contrary to the provisions of this license,
    and where applicable, the rules issued by the English Institu-
    tion of Electrical Engineers for electric light and power in-
    stallations shall be observed, unless otherwise required by
    the electrical representative of the particular fire-insurance
    company in which the premises to be wired may be insured.

59. If the Corporation makes default in complying with
    any of the provisions of this license it shall be liable to a
    penalty not exceeding £20 for every such default.

The recovery of a penalty under this license shall not affect
the liability (if any) of the Corporation to make compensation
in respect of any damage or injury which may be caused by
reason of the default.

And I do hereby declare that this license shall come into
force on and after the date of publication thereof in the New
Zealand Gazette.

As witness my hand, this twenty-third day of Septem-
ber, one thousand nine hundred and four.
