If on such testing and inspection the officer discovers a leakage from the consumer’s wires exceeding one ten-thousandth part of the maximum supply current to the premises, or that the requirements of this license are not properly conformed to, or if the consumer does not give all due facilities for inspection and testing, the Council shall either not commence the supply or shall forthwith discontinue the supply of energy to the premises in question, giving immediate notice to the consumer of its reasons for not commencing or for discontinuing the supply, and in either case supply shall not be given until the Council is reasonably satisfied that the installation is in conformity with the requirements of this license.

If any consumer is dissatisfied with the action of the Council in refusing to give, or in discontinuing, or in not commencing the supply of energy to his premises, the wires and fittings of that consumer may, on his application to the Minister and on payment of the cost, be inspected and tested by the Inspecting Engineer. This provision shall be endorsed on every notice given under the provisions of either of the two preceding paragraphs.

25. PLANS.

The Council shall, before the erection or construction of any part of the work hereby authorized is begun, submit for the approval of the Minister such plans and other information showing and describing such work as he may require. In the event of the Council at any time desiring to make alterations to the work involving a departure from the type of construction shown on the approved plans, 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.

26. NOTICE REGARDING EXTENSIONS, ETC.

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

27. NOTICE OF COMPLETION.

The Council shall, prior to the completion of the said works or any separate portion thereof, give to the Minister at least one month’s notice in writing of the estimated date of such completion.

28. COMMENCEMENT OF SUPPLY.

The Council shall not use any portion of the electric lines authorized by this license, or permit the same to be used, for any purpose until the Minister has given notice in writing to the Council that he has received from the Inspecting Engineer a certificate that the said work or any portion thereof has been satisfactorily carried out.

29. INSPECTION OF WORKS.

The Minister may at any time order an inspection to be made of the works, lines, and wires of the Council used for electric lighting, heating, and power purposes. If any defect is found to exist it must be remedied forthwith and if in the opinion of the officer or person inspecting such defect is serious the Minister may, on receipt of the report, direct the Council to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of the Council’s line and wires or over any specified part thereof until such defect is repaired or remedied. The cost of such inspection shall be borne by the Council.

30. COMPLIANCE WITH CONDITIONS.

For the purpose of ascertaining whether the conditions of this license are being faithfully complied with by the Council, 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.

This license and the benefits and obligations hereunder shall not be assigned by the Council 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.

32. DEFAULT AND PENALTY.

If the Council fails to comply with any of the conditions of this license the Minister may, by notice in writing, require the Council 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 Council ; and if the Council 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 Council to pay or make compensation in respect of any damage or injury which may be caused by reason of the default.

33. REVOCATION OF LICENSE.

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

34. PUBLIC WORKS, COMPENSATION, ETC.

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 Council 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.
