Feb. 23.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 571

Electric Telegraph Commissioner, any officer of the Post and Telegraph Department (hereinafter referred to as “an Electric Inspector”) instructed to so act may, for the purpose of discovering whether the leakage exists at any part of a circuit within or upon any consumer’s premises, whether the wiring is suitable and the general requirements of the license are complied with, by notice require the consumer, at some reasonable time after the service of the notice, to permit him to inspect and test the wires and fittings belonging to the consumer and forming part of the circuit.

In any case where the Corporation require the services of an Electric Inspector under this section, they shall pay the cost of such inspection.

If on such testing and inspection the officer or the Electric Inspector discovers a leakage from the consumer’s wires exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply-current to the premises, that the requirements of this license are not properly conformed to, or if the consumer does not give all due facilities for inspection and testing, the Corporation shall forthwith discontinue the supply of energy to the premises in question, giving immediate notice of the discontinuance to the consumer, and shall not recommence the supply until they are reasonably satisfied that the leakage has been removed, and that the installation is in conformity with this license.

65. If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the Corporation in refusing to give, or in discontinuing, or in not recommending, the supply of energy to his premises, the wires and fittings of that consumer may, on his application to the Electric Telegraph Commissioner, and on payment of the cost of such inspection, be inspected and be tested for the existence of leakage by an Electric Inspector.

This provision shall be indorsed on every notice given under the provisions of either of the two last preceding sections.

66. From and after the time when the Corporation shall commence to supply energy through any distributing-main they shall maintain during such portion of the twenty-four hours as they shall from time to time determine to supply energy sufficient power for the use of all the consumers for the time being entitled to be supplied from such main: Provided that, for any purposes connected with the efficient working of the undertaking, the Electric Telegraph Commissioner may give permission to the Corporation to discontinue the supply at such intervals of time and for such periods as he may think expedient. When the supply is so discontinued, public notice, as far as may be possible, shall be given of such discontinuance, and of the probable duration thereof.

67. The variation of pressure at any consumer’s terminals shall not under any conditions of the supply which the consumer is entitled to receive exceed 4 per cent. from the normal pressure at which he is being supplied.

68. The Electric Telegraph Commissioner may at any time order an inspection to be made of the works, lines, and wires of the Corporation used for electric-lighting and power purposes. 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 that to him may seem fit, until such defect or defects are repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspections shall be borne by the Corporation.

69. In running their lines through streets or along roads where no telegraph or telephone lines exist, the Corporation shall keep to one side of the street or road, and the Telegraph Department, in running its lines, shall do the same.

70. If the Corporation make default in complying with any of the provisions of this license they 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 16th day of February, 1905.

J. G. WARD,
Electric Telegraph Commissioner.
