WHEREAS the Whangarei Borough Council was, under the provisions of section two of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, authorized by an Order in Council dated the twelfth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and fourteen, and published in the Gazette of the fifteenth day of the same month, to erect electric lines within the Borough of Whangarei, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Schedule thereto, and hereinafter referred to as "the said conditions": And whereas it is desirable that the said conditions should be altered:
Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by the said section, and of all other powers in anyway enabling him in this behalf, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby, as from the date of the publication hereof in the Gazette, alter and amend the said conditions as follows.

1. By substituting the following paragraph for the second paragraph of clause 2 of the said conditions:—
   "This supply shall be stepped down to 2,200 volts between phases for primary distribution; for secondary distribution, which shall be on the three-phase four-wire system, the 2,200-volt supply shall be stepped down to 400 volts between phases, and 230 volts between each phase and the neutral. The declared pressure at the consumer’s terminals shall be 400 and 230 volts respectively."

2. By substituting the following clause for clause 3 in the said conditions:—
   "3. CONNECTIONS OF CIRCUIT WITH EARTH.
   "The neutral point of the primary distribution shall be earthed at one point only—viz., the Council’s substation; and the insulation of the circuit shall be efficiently maintained at all other parts.
   "The neutral conductor of the three-phase four-wire system shall be earthed at one point only on each distinct circuit—viz., at the transformer; and the insulation of the circuit shall be efficiently maintained at all other parts. The connection with earth shall in all cases be efficiently maintained except where it is interrupted by means of a switch or link for the purpose of periodical tests.
   "In the three-phase four-wire system with earthed neutral conductor, tests shall be periodically made to ascertain whether any current is passing to earth by means of the earth connection; and if at any time the current to earth through the connection exceeds one-thousandth part of the maximum supply current of the circuit, steps shall be immediately taken to improve the insulation of the system.
   "A record shall be kept of all such tests."

3. By inserting the following paragraph after the first paragraph in clause ll of the said conditions:—
   "Overhead lines at high pressure shall not in any part thereof be at less height than 20 ft. from the ground."

4. (l.) By inserting the following paragraph after the first paragraph in clause 15 of the said conditions:—
   "Electric lines at high pressure shall be insulated with vulcanized rubber of at least 600-megohm grade; provided that, where circumstances permit, the lines may, with the consent of the Minister, be bare."
