  8. Where the conductors cross telegraph or telephone
    wires, or if any telegraph or telephone wire is hereinafter
    installed so as to cross the conductors, substantial guard-
    wires shall be erected by or at the cost of the said Board.
    Such guard-wires shall consist of two stranded galvanized-
    steel wires, carried on substantial supports, at a height
    of 2 ft. above the conductors if the telegraph or telephone
    wires pass over the conductors, or 2 ft. above the telegraph
    or telephone wires if they pass under the conductors.
  9. The construction of the works hereby authorized shall

  10. The said Board shall, prior to the completion of the
    said works, give to the Minister of Public Works (herein-
    after referred to as “the Minister”) at least one month’s
    notice in writing of the estimated date of such com-
    pletion.
  11. The said Board shall not use the said electric line,

    Minister has given notice in writing to the Board that
    he has received from the Engineer appointed by him to
    inspect the works a certificate that they have been
    satisfactorily carried out.
  12. This license, and the benefits and obligations here-
    under, shall not be assigned by the said Board without
    the express consent in writing of the Minister first had
    and obtained; but such consent shall not be withheld if
    it is proved to the satisfaction of the Minister that the
    transferee is financially and otherwise able to carry out the
    obligations specified in this license.
  13. If the said Board fails to comply with any of the
    above conditions of this license the Minister may, by
    notice in writing, require the Board within thirty days
    to remedy the default specified in that notice; and if
    the said Board fails to comply with the terms of the
    notice within the said period it shall be liable to a penalty
    of £10, to be recoverable by or on behalf of the Minister
    as a debt due to the Crown.
  14. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause
    of these conditions, if the said Board fails to comply with
    the terms of any such notice for ninety days after the
    receipt thereof the Governor in Council may thereupon
    revoke this license without further notice.
  15. For the purpose of ascertaining whether the con-
    ditions of this license are being faithfully complied with
    by the said Board, the Minister, or any person appointed
    by him in that behalf, may at all reasonable times enter
    on the lands and works and inspect the same.
  16. Nothing in this license shall be deemed in any way
    to interfere with, affect, or abridge any rights or powers
    vested in His Majesty the King, or in the Governor on his
    behalf, authorizing the construction, management, or
    working of any public works, nor shall any compensation
    be payable to or on behalf of the said Board for injury
    done to the works herein authorized by the construction,
    management, or working of any such public work as
    aforesaid, or for the loss occasioned thereby, or for the
    exercise of any such right or power as aforesaid.
