CONDITIONS.

1. IN this license the following words and phrases shall have the meanings hereby attached to them respectively :—

“Earthed” means connected to the general mass of earth in such a manner as to ensure at all times an immediate and safe discharge to earth of electric energy.

“Electric line” means any wire, wires, conductor, or other means used for conveying, transmitting, or distributing electricity for power, lighting, or heating purposes; and includes any instrument, insulator, casing, tubing, pipe-covering, or post enclosing or supporting an electric line, or anything connected therewith.

“Inspecting Engineer” means and includes any Inspecting Engineer appointed by the Minister to inspect the works to be constructed or maintained by virtue of electric-line licenses issued under the Public Works Act, 1908, and any or all of its amendments, or under any one or more of such amendments only, or any Act or Acts passed in amendment thereof or substitution therefor.

“Minister” means Minister of Public Works.

“Telegraph” includes telephone.

“Telegraph line” has the same meaning as “electric line” in the Post and Telegraph Act, 1908, and also includes all telegraph, telephone, and electric signalling wires belonging to the Government Railways Department.

2. The conductors shall not be less than 7/20 S.W.G. hard-drawn copper wires, firmly attached to porcelain insulators, and erected on supports placed not more than 150 ft. apart. The positive conductor shall be covered throughout, and the covering may consist of vulcanized indiarubber or of triple braiding thoroughly impregnated with weatherproof compound. The negative conductor may be bare.

3. The conductors shall be carried on substantial and durable supports, which shall be designed to have a factor of safety of four in the case of steel, iron, or ferro-concrete, and five in the case of wood, calculated upon the ultimate strength of the material, assuming the wind-pressure to be 20 lb. per square foot upon a plane surface, and 12 lb. per square foot upon a diametral plane upon a cylindrical surface.

4. The conductors shall not in any part thereof be at a less height than 18 ft. from the surface of the ground.

5. A single-pole fuse cut-out shall be inserted in the positive conductor, and arranged to operate with an overload of 100 per cent. above the rated full load of the circuit. Such fuse cut-out shall be placed in a suitable locked or sealed receptacle of fireproof construction fixed at a convenient height on the pole nearest the point where the positive conductor leaves the trolley-wire or feeder. At the distributing-point of a lighting circuit there shall be inserted in the positive conductor a single-pole switch, together with a fuse arranged to operate with an overload of 50 per cent. above the rated full load of such circuit. In a motor circuit there shall be provided, in the immediate vicinity of each motor connected thereto, a double-pole switch and fuse cut-out or circuit-breaker arranged to operate with an overload of 50 per cent. above the rated full load of the motor so controlled. Each motor shall be fitted with a no-volt release and a series resistance.

6. The negative conductor shall, in a lighting circuit, be continuous throughout its length from the lamps to the tramway-rail, to which it shall be effectively bonded, and in
