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.

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.

12. This license, and the benefits and obligations hereunder, shall not be assigned by the licensee 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.

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