The Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, Section 2.—License to construct and use Electric Lines.

Office of the Minister of Public Works,
Wellington, 16th June, 1914.

EVERY application for a license to construct and use electric lines for lighting and other purposes under section 2 of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, must be made in writing to the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, and be accompanied by suitable plans showing by means of a distinctive coloured border thereon the proposed area of supply, the position of the power-house and substations, and the route or routes of the electric lines, indicating in each case where the lines cross telegraph and telephone lines, railways, and tramways, and full particulars as regards—
(1.) System of supply.
(2.) Voltage of generation, transmission, and supply.
(3.) Frequency of periodicity (if alternating).
(4.) Manner in which the electricity is generated—i.e., whether by water-power, oil-engine, &c.
(5.) In cases where the applicant is not a local authority, or if a local authority desires to operate beyond its own boundaries, the consent of the local authority concerned must be obtained and forwarded with the application.
(6.) In cases where the applicant is a private individual, the full name, occupation, and address must be supplied.

NOTE.—In order to standardize the conditions as far as possible throughout the Dominion, it is suggested that when convenient the three-phase four-wire system be adopted for distribution at a frequency of 50 cycles per second, and a voltage of 230 between each phase and a neutral for lighting purposes and small motors, and 400 volts between phases for supply to large motors.
