HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by Order in Council dated the eighteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and six, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the nineteenth day of April, one thousand nine hundred and six, regulations were made under the authority of “The Electric Lines Act, 1884” (hereinafter termed “the said Act”), inter alia, prescribing conditions and fixing fees and rates for the construction, supply, and maintenance of private wires by the Post and Telegraph Department: And it is expedient to abolish such conditions, fees, and rates, and make others in lieu thereof in the manner hereinafter set forth:

SCHEDULE.

PRIVATE LINES.

CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH LINE WILL BE CONSTRUCTED, SUPPLIED WITH INSTRUMENTS, AND MAINTAINED.

1. APPLICATION should be made direct to the Superintendent of Electric Lines, Wellington, for any information regarding the cost of construction and the conditions under which private lines will be constructed or supplied with instruments.

2. The erection of private lines is not permissible on telegraph or telephone poles, nor may such lines be connected with departmental earth-wires, except as specified in clause 3.

3. Private wires between places of business or other premises within towns where there are telephone-poles available, which in the opinion of the Superintendent of Electric Lines may be used for carrying such private wires without detriment to the Department's business, may be erected on such telephone-poles at the cost of the applicant, and maintained by the Department at the following rates, payable yearly in advance:—

For the first mile or fraction thereof, £2 per annum, and 10s. per annum for every additional quarter of a mile or fraction thereof.

4. If a private line or any portion thereof cannot be erected on any existing telephone-poles, and therefore necessitates the erection of new poles, then for such new line the maintenance will be at the rate of £4 per annum for the first mile or fraction thereof, and £1 per annum for every additional quarter of a mile or fraction thereof.

5. The applicant must use the line for his own bona fide business only, and must on no account, directly or indirectly, allow the line to be used for any purpose which might be construed as an attempt to defraud the Department of its revenue.

6. The Department may construct private telephone-lines on behalf of the owners, but will not license any person to construct his own telephone-line.

7. The construction of a line erected by its owner and at his risk is subject to the consent of the County Council, Road Board, or other local body; but such consent will not abrogate the claims of the Department to the right of road. Any private line interfering with the construction or maintenance of any departmental line will be liable to removal on the order of the Superintendent of Electric Lines.

8. Private lines intended to be connected with a telephone bureau must be equipped with bridging-bell telephones supplied by the Department, the cost of which, including battery, is £5 each. Any other apparatus or material required for the construction of a private line may also be purchased from the Department, provided it can be spared by the Department and cannot be obtained from any dealer in such goods.

9. The Department does not maintain private lines or telephones constructed as indicated in clauses 6, 7, and 8.
