Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, it is provided that no person shall lay, construct, put up, place, or use any electric line except under the authority of a license issued to him by the Governor in Council under that Act :

And whereas the Stevenson and Cook Engineering Company (Limited), of Port Chalmers (hereinafter referred to as “the licensee”), desires to erect electric lines across Beach Street from the main engineering shops to the dock shop buildings in the Borough of Port Chalmers (hereinafter referred to as “the said electric lines”), and it is expedient accordingly to issue a license in respect thereof under the said section :

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred upon him by the said section, and of all other powers enabling him in that behalf, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth, subject to the conditions set forth in the Schedule hereto, hereby authorize the licensee to erect and maintain for lighting and power purposes the said electric lines as indicated by broken white lines on the plan marked P.W.D. 36379, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Wellington Provincial District.

SCHEDULE.
CONDITIONS.

1. THE said electric lines shall be V.I.R. 300-megohm grade copper conductors of 7/18 S.W.G. section, and suspended on efficient insulators with a minimum clearance of 20 ft. from the ground at the lowest point of the span.

2. At telegraph crossings the conductors shall pass over or under telegraph or telephone wires, as may be decided by the Minister of Telegraphs. At places where it may be deemed necessary by the Minister of Telegraphs as a protection to telegraph or telephone wires generally, approved guard-wires, effectively earthed, shall be erected by or at the cost of the licensee. Such guard-wires shall be 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 the latter pass under the conductors.

3. Earth-wires where led down poles shall be protected by a casing for a distance of 8 ft. from the ground. A test shall be made every three months, and oftener if required, of all earths to ensure that the earth-wire is intact and that the earth is effective.

4. The licensee 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 licensee that he has received from the Engineer appointed by him to inspect the works a certificate that they have been satisfactorily carried out.

5. The said electric lines, including their supports, their conductors, and their insulated covering, shall be duly and efficiently supervised and maintained by the licensee as regards both electrical and mechanical conditions, and shall not be permitted by the licensee to remain erected after they have ceased to be used for the supply of electricity.

6. This license, and the benefits and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by the licensee 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.

7. If the licensee fails to comply with any of the conditions of this license the Minister may, by notice in writing, require the licensee within thirty days to remedy the default specified in that notice ; and if the licensee 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.

8. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause of these conditions, if the licensee 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.

9. For the purpose of ascertaining whether the conditions of this license are being faithfully complied with by the licensee, the Minister, or any person appointed by him in that behalf, may at all reasonable times enter on the said works and inspect the same.

10. Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the licensee shall not be entitled to erect, maintain, or use the electric lines except subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this license, as may from time to time be agreed upon between the licensee and the Port Chalmers Borough Council.

11. 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 licensee 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.

12. The licensee shall not supply electricity to any other consumer or consumers, or allow electricity supplied to the licensee to be used by any other consumer or consumers.

13. This license shall, unless sooner determined in accordance with the provisions hereinbefore expressed, continue in force for a period of forty-two years from the date hereof. Upon the expiry of the said term, or upon the sooner determination of this license by revocation or otherwise, all rights hereby granted to the licensee shall thereupon cease and determine, but such expiration or determination shall not relieve the licensee of any liability theretofore incurred under this license.
