CONDITIONS.

1. THE conductors shall be attached at a minimum height of 20 ft. above the surface of the ground.

2. The positive lines shall consist of 7/18 S.W.G. copper wires, insulated with vulcanized indiarubber of 600-megohm grade, and the negative lines of 7/18 S.W.G. copper wires, which may be bare. The lines shall be insulated by means of porcelain insulators, carried on substantial hardwood poles placed not more than 200 ft. apart, and shall be 18 ft. clear over the surface of the road at the lowest point of the span.

3. A fuse cut-out shall be placed on the positive conductor where it leaves the tramway trolley-wire, to operate at 50 per cent. above the maximum load of the circuit. A switch and a circuit-breaker, set to operate with an overload of 50 per cent. excess current, and with a no-load release, shall be inserted in the positive conductor and placed near the motor.

4. The negative conductor shall be continuous throughout its length from the motor terminal to the tramway-rail, to which it shall be effectively bonded.

5. The conductors shall be carried on substantial supports, which shall be designed to have a factor of safety of five under a wind-pressure of 30 lb. per square foot.

6. At crossings the conductors shall pass over or under the telegraph wires, as may be decided by the Minister of Telegraphs. Where the conductors cross telegraph or telephone wires, or if any telegraph or telephone wire is hereafter installed so as to cross the conductors, and at such other points as may be deemed necessary by the Minister of Telegraphs, substantial guard-wires, effectively earthed, shall be erected by or at the cost of the said Board. Such guard-wires shall consist of two-stranded galvanized-steel wires 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 they pass under the conductors. Earth-wires where led down poles shall be protected by a casing for a distance of 8 ft. from the ground.

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

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

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

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

12. This license, and the benefits and obligations thereunder, shall not be assigned by the said Board without the expressed 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.

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

14. Notwithstanding anything in the last preceding clause of these conditions, if the said Board 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.

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

16. 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 said Board for injury done to the works herein authorized by the construction, management, or working of any such public works as aforesaid, or for the loss occasioned thereby, or for the exercise of any such right or power as aforesaid.

17. This license shall come into force on and after the publication thereof in the New Zealand Gazette.
