In the event of the Board at any time desiring to make alterations to the work involving a departure from the type of construction shown on the approved plan, 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.

Notice regarding Extensions.

49. Before commencing the erection of any part of the lines hereby authorized, or the extension or alteration of any line already erected, the Board shall give at least seven days’ notice in writing to the Public Works Engineer at present stationed at Wanganui, and also to the District Engineer of the Post and Telegraph Department in Wellington, of its intention to carry out the work, and shall forward to the Minister of Public Works a locality plan showing the route of any extension.

Time of Construction.

50. The Board shall, within six months from the date of this license, make a substantial commencement of the works to which this license refers, and shall proceed continuously and energetically with the construction of all such works until they are completed.

Commencement of Supply.

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

Inspection of Works.

53. The Minister may at any time order an inspection to be made of the lines and wires of the Board. 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 the report, direct the Board to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of the 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 inspection shall be borne by the Board.

56. If the Board fails to comply with any of the 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; but it shall not be held to have committed default for any failure to maintain power continuously 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 Board; and if the Board fails to comply with the terms of the notice within the said period it shall be liable to a penalty of £20, to be recoverable by or on behalf of the Minister as a debt due to the Crown. The recovery of a penalty under this license shall not affect the liability (if any) of the Board to pay or make compensation in respect of any damage or injury which may be caused by reason of the default.
