SCHEDULE.

CONDITIONS.

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

2. The positive lines shall consist of 7/21½ S.W.G. copper wires, insulated with vulcanized indiarubber of 600-megohm grade, and the negative lines of 7/21½ 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 fuse that will operate with 50 per cent. excess current over the full load of the circuit shall be inserted at the distribution-box on the positive conductor in each lighting circuit, and for a motor circuit a switch and 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 each motor respectively.

4. The negative conductor shall be continuous throughout its length from the distribution-box or 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 licensee. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.
