Present :

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by section two of the Public Works Amend-
ment 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 Christchurch Tramway Board (herein-
after referred to as “the said Board”) desires to erect electric
lines from its overhead wire on the Fendalton Road, to con-
nect with a motor on Mr. Edward William Relph's premises
on the north side of the said road, near the corner of Glandovey
Road, and it is expedient accordingly to issue a license in
respect thereof under the said section :

Now, therefore, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers
conferred on him by the said section, and of all other powers
in anywise enabling him in this 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 said Board to erect
and maintain electric lines for the purpose of supplying elec-
tricity to the aforesaid motor, such electric line being indi-
cated by a broken line on the plan marked P.W.D. 34669,
deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at
Wellington, in the Wellington Provincial District.

SCHEDULE.

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

6. The negative conductor shall be continuous throughout
   its length from the motor terminal to the tramway-rail, to

8. Where the conductors cross telegraph or telephone wires,
   or if any telegraph or telephone wire is hereinafter installed
   so as to cross the conductors, substantial guard-wires shall,
   if required by the Minister of Telegraphs, be erected by the
   Minister at the cost of the said Board. Such guard-wires
   shall consist of at least 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.

    said works, give to the Minister of Public Works (hereinafter
    referred to as “the Minister”) at least one month's notice
    in writing of the estimated date of such completion.

11. The said Board shall not use the said electric line, or
    permit the same to be used, for any purpose until the Minister

    from the Engineer appointed by him to inspect the works a
    certificate that they have been satisfactorily carried out.

12. 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.

13. This license, and the benefits and obligations here-
    under, shall not be assigned by the said Board without the
    express consent in writing of the Minister first had and ob-
    tained ; but such consent shall not be withheld if it is proved
    to the satisfaction of the Minister that the transferee is finan-
    cially and otherwise able to carry out the obligations specified
    in this license.

14. If the said Board fails to comply with any of the con-
    ditions of this license, the Minister may, by notice in writing,
    require the 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.

15. 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.

16. 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 the same.

17. 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 work-
    ing of any public work, nor shall any compensation be pay-
    able 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 work as aforesaid, or for the
    loss occasioned thereby, or for the exercise of any such right
    or power as aforesaid.
