Mines Department,
Wellington, 22nd February, 1905.

IN pursuance of the provisions of the 240th section of “The Mining Act, 1898,” it is hereby notified that the claims for compensation enumerated in the Schedule hereto, in respect to a Proclamation issued under the hand of His Excellency the Governor and the Public Seal of the Colony on the 15th day of January, 1903, declaring the Grey River, with its tributaries, in the Land Districts of Nelson and Westland, to be watercourses into which tailings, &c., may be discharged, have been settled, and all further claims and remedies in respect of the said Proclamation are barred, as provided by the said Act.

SCHEDULE.

The Corporation of the Borough of Inglewood authorised to erect Electric Lines within the Borough of Inglewood and along a County Road.

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 Mayor, Councillors, and Burgesses of the Borough of Inglewood (hereinafter referred to as “the Corporation”) to erect, construct, lay down, and maintain electric lines for lighting and power purposes along the Junction Road between the generating-station, situate on part of Section 38, Moa District, Block I., Huiroa Survey District, and abutting on the Ngatoro River, and the Borough of Inglewood, and through the several streets in the said borough, which lines are shown on the plans marked “A” and “B,” (deposited in the office of the Superintendent of Electric Lines, and on which plans the electric lines are indicated by red and violet lines, and which are 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 3,200 volts between any two of the three wires.

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 polished marble, supported by a substantial iron frame. Connections between the alternators and the switchboard panels shall be made by highly insulated cables, carefully protected against all liability of injury or of interference. The current shall be conveyed from the switchboard through fuses and triple-pole switches to the lines by highly insulated cables, supported on efficient porcelain insulators.

5. The high-tension transmission-line shall extend from the generating-station, situate on Section 38, fronting the Ngatoro River, along the Junction Road, and some distance within the borough. The poles for the transmission-line within the borough shall be spaced at intervals not exceeding 2 chains, and the conductors shall be insulated throughout with not less than 600-megohms-per-mile grade of vulcanised rubber, taped, braided, and compounded.

6. The high-tension transmission-wires shall be run on wooden poles of ironbark or other approved timber, the spans between which, beyond the boundaries of the borough, shall not be of greater length than 200 ft. where the direction of the line is straight, or 150 ft. where the direction is curved or where the line makes a horizontal angle at the point of support. The wires shall be of high-conductivity hard-drawn copper, of a suitable gauge for carrying the current required, and shall not be smaller than No. 8 standard wire gauge.

7. The transmission-wires shall be supported on high-tension triple-shed porcelain insulators, with iron stems fitting into cross-arms of suitable material and cross-section, and outside of the borough the wires may be bare.

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

9. Along the transmission-route two telephone-wires, which may be bare and of iron, shall be run. They shall be not less than No. 10 standard wire gauge, and shall be not less than 18 ft. above the ground at their lowest point. At all railway-crossings the minimum height of the telephone-wires shall be 20 ft.

10. At points along the transmission-line where it may be desired to supply energy en route for lighting or power purposes, single-phase transformers may be used to tap the transmission-line, and these transformers shall be as far as possible balanced across the three phases, and shall transform from 3,200 to 220 volts. Three-phase transformers may be used at points along and near to the transmission-routes where the demand for power is such as to render it undesirable to supply from single-phase transformers, and where three-phase transformers are so used motors may be supplied from the three outers at 380 volts, and lamps from any one outer and an earthed neutral at 220 volts.

Supply under this clause shall be given only to premises fronting the road along which the high-tension line runs, or to premises so situated that the wires shall pass wholly along private property over which permission shall have been obtained to run.

11. Three-phase transformers shall be oil-filled unless they are provided with ventilated iron cases or with an earthing-shield. The windings of the primary may be mesh and of the secondary shall be star connected. All transformers shall have easily removable fuses for the primary circuit, may have secondary fuses, and the fuse-chambers shall be entirely separate from the transformers. All transformers affixed to poles shall be fitted with watertight cast-iron cases. Single-phase transformers transforming to 220 volts shall be fitted with an approved earthing device which shall render it impossible for the potential of the low-tension winding to be raised above 450 volts.

12. All wooden poles used shall be of ironbark or other approved timber, and where transformers are not under shelter in a special structure they shall be securely attached to wooden poles, which shall be specially strong.

13. The power-station and every transformer shall be protected against lightning by approved lightning-guards with choking-coils. A guard shall be placed on each transmission-
