[No. 38

47. A printed notice shall be fixed in a conspicuous position at every motor and switchboard forbidding unauthorized persons to touch the motors or apparatus.

48. No work of any nature shall be erected or constructed in pursuance of this license upon, over, or under any part of the New Zealand Government railways until the said Council has obtained the consent of the Minister of Railways thereto, as required by section 4 of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1910 (No. 2).

49. The said Council shall not connect the wires and fittings on a consumer’s premises with its mains, or, in the case of premises already connected, continue the supply from its mains, unless it is reasonably satisfied that the requirements of this license are complied with, that the wiring and fittings are suitable for the voltage at which supply is being given, and that the connection or continuance of supply would not cause a leakage from those wires and fittings exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply-current to the premises; and where the Council declines to make such connection or to continue to supply it shall serve upon the consumer a notice stating its reasons for so declining.

50. If the said Council is reasonably satisfied, after making all proper examination by testing or otherwise, that the wiring and fittings are not suitable for the voltage being employed, that a leakage exists at some part of a circuit of such extent as to be a source of danger, and that such leakage does not exist at any part of the circuit under its control, or that any other requirements of this license are not complied with, then and in such case any officer of the said Council duly authorized by it in writing, may, for the purpose of discovering whether the leakage exists at any part of a circuit within or upon any consumer’s premises, or whether the wiring is suitable and the general requirements of this 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.

If on such testing and inspection the officer discovers a leakage from the consumer’s wires exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply-current to the premises, or 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 said Council 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 it is reasonably satisfied that the leakage has been removed and that the installation is in conformity with these regulations.

51. If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the Council in refusing to give, or in discontinuing, or in not recommencing the supply of energy to his premises, the wires and fittings of that consumer may, on his application to the Minister, and on payment of the cost of such inspection, be inspected and tested for the existence of leakage by the Inspecting Engineer.

This provision shall be indorsed on every notice given under the provisions of either of the two last preceding clauses hereof (Nos. 49 and 50).

52. From and after the time when the Council commences to supply energy through any distributing-main it shall, during such portion of each day as it from time to time determines, maintain 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 Minister may give permission to the said Council to discontinue the supply at such intervals of time and for such periods as he thinks expedient. When the supply is so discontinued, public notice shall be given, when practicable, of such discontinuance, and of the probable duration thereof.

53. The variation of pressure at any consumer’s terminals shall not under any conditions exceed 4 per cent. of the normal pressure at which he is being supplied.

54. The construction of the works hereby authorized shall be substantially commenced on or before the 1st day of June, 1912, and shall be completed on or before the 1st day of June, 1914.

55. The said Council shall, prior to the completion of the said works, give to the Minister at least one month’s notice in writing of the estimated date of such completion.

56. The Council shall not use the said electric lines, or permit the same to be used for any purpose, until the Minister has given notice in writing to the Council that he has received from the Inspecting Engineer a certificate that the works have been satisfactorily carried out.

57. The Minister may at any time order an inspection to be made of the works, lines, and wires used by the said Council for electric lighting and power purposes. If any defect is found to exist it must be remedied forthwith, and, if serious in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer, the Minister may, on receipt of his report, direct the Council to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of its lines and wires or over any part thereof, as to him may seem fit, until such defect is repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspections shall be borne by the Council.

58. After the supply of energy has been begun, not less than fourteen days’ notice in writing shall be given to the District Engineer of Public Works at Auckland, or such other officer as the Minister from time to time directs, of each further extension that the said Council is about to make.

59. If the said Council 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, to be recoverable by any person authorized by the Minister in that behalf as a debt due to the Crown; but the said Council shall not be held to have committed default for any failure to maintain power during the hours that it shall have determined to supply energy if such failure is due to the breakdown of machinery or other accident, unless such breakdown or accident shall be proved to be due to negligence on the part of the said Council.

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

Clerk of the Executive Council.
