river, stream, or other source for the purpose of generating
electricity for electric light, mechanical power, or other uses,
and to exercise in respect of that purpose any of the powers
and authorities specified in that behalf in the said section:
And whereas it is further provided by the said section that any
such license may confer upon the licensee a right at any time
or times during the continuance of the license (but subject to
such conditions and restrictions as are expressed in the license)
to enter upon any road, railway, or other land, whether
vested in or occupied by the Crown or any other person
or body corporate, and there to construct, erect, lay down,
maintain, renew, or repair all such cables, wires, and other
