him to inspect and to 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 Council shall either not commence the supply or shall forthwith discontinue the supply of energy to the premises in question, giving immediate notice to the consumer of its reasons for not commencing or for discontinuing the supply, and in either case supply shall not be given until the Council is reasonably satisfied that the installation is in conformity with the requirements of this license.

34. If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the Council 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 Minister, and on payment of the cost, be inspected and tested by the Inspecting Engineer.

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

35. From and after the time when the Council commences to supply energy in pursuance of this license, it shall maintain continuously sufficient power for the use of all the consumers for the time being entitled to be supplied: Provided that, for any purposes connected with the efficient working of the undertaking, the Minister may give permission to the Council 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 shall be given, when practicable, of such discontinuance, and of the probable duration thereof.

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

37. The 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.

38. The Council shall not use the electric lines authorized by this license, 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.

39. 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, in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer, such defect is serious, 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 specified part thereof, until such defect is repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspections shall be borne by the Council.

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

41. If the 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 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 is proved to be due to negligence on the part of the said Council.

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

43. This license, and the benefits and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by the Council 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.

44. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause of these conditions, if the Council 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.

45. For the purpose of ascertaining whether the conditions of this license are being faithfully complied with by the Council, 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.

46. 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 Council 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.
