35. The Council shall, upon receipt of an application from the occupier of any premises within 60 ft. of any of the Council’s public-supply electric lines, furnish such premises with electrical energy upon the same terms and conditions on which any other consumer is entitled under similar circumstances to a corresponding supply, provided that the Council’s plant is of sufficient power to supply the electrical energy required by such occupier as well as the requirements of other consumers.

36. The Council shall, before the erection or construction of any part of the work hereby authorized is begun, submit for the approval of the Minister such plans and other information showing and describing such work as he may require. In the event of the Council at any time desiring to make alterations to the work involving a departure from the type of construction shown on the approved plans, it shall submit for the Minister’s approval plans showing such type of construction as it is proposed to adopt, and with such approval the alterations may be carried out.

37. 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.

38. The construction of the works hereby authorized shall be substantially commenced on or before the 1st day of September, 1913, and shall be completed on or before the 1st day of September, 1914.

39. The Council shall, prior to the completion of the said works, or any separate portion thereof, give to the Minister at least one month’s notice in writing of the estimated date of such completion.

40. The Council shall not use any portion of 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 work, or any portion thereof, has been satisfactorily carried out.

41. 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.

42. After the supply of energy has been begun, not less than fourteen days’ notice in writing shall be given to the Postmaster at Te Kuiti and 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 Council is about to make.

43. If the Council makes default in complying with any of the provisions of this license the Minister may by notice in writing require the said Council within thirty days to remedy the default specified in that notice, and if it fails to comply with the terms of the notice within the said period it shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £20, 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.

44. 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.

45. 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.

46. Notwithstanding anything in clause 43 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.

47. 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.

48. 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.
