At the Government House at Wellington, this nineteenth day of January, 1915.

Present:

His Excellency the Governor in Council.

WHEREAS by section two of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, it is provided that no person shall lay, construct, put up, place, or use any electric line except under authority of a license issued to him by the Governor in Council under that Act:

And whereas the Invercargill Borough Council (hereinafter referred to as “the Council”) desires to extend, as hereinafter mentioned, electric lines already erected in pursuance of a license dated the seventh day of June, one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 47, page 1927, of the nineteenth day of the same month (hereinafter referred to as “the said license”), and it is expedient accordingly to issue a license in respect thereof under the said section:

Now, therefore, in pursuance and exercise of the powers conferred on him by the said section, and of all other powers in anywise 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, subject to the conditions set forth in the Schedule to the said license and in the Schedule hereto, authorize the Council to erect and maintain electric lines for lighting, heating, and power purposes within the area of supply as described in the Schedule hereto.

SCHEDULE.

(1.) AREA OF SUPPLY.

The area of supply comprises that portion of the Southland County shown in bordered blue lines on the plan marked P.W.D. 36488, and deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Wellington Provincial District, with the exception of that portion of the Southland County included in the area within which the Invercargill Borough Council was authorized to erect electric lines by the said license.

(2.) CLEARANCES FOR OVERHEAD LINES.

For the clearances specified in clause 6 of the said license the following shall be substituted:—

Overhead lines at low pressure shall not in any part thereof be at a less height than 18 ft. from the ground.

Overhead lines at high pressure shall not in any part thereof be at a less height than 20 ft. from the ground.

At electric-tramway crossings all electric lines shall be carried at such a height as to be out of reach of the tramcar trolley-pole when in a vertical position.

The maximum sag shall be computed on the assumption that the conductor is subject to a temperature of 122° F.

(3.) HIGH-PRESSURE AND LOW-PRESSURE LINES ON SAME POLES.

Where low-pressure and high-pressure lines are supported on the same poles or supports, the high-pressure line shall be insulated with vulcanized rubber of at least 600 megohm grade, and the low-pressure lines shall be covered with triple braiding.

(4.) ELECTRIC LINES IN SOUTHLAND COUNTY.

Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the Council shall not be entitled to erect, maintain, or use any electric lines within the Southland County except subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this license and the regulations relating thereto, as may from time to time be agreed upon between the Council and the Southland County Council.

J. F. ANDREWS,
Clerk of the Executive Council.
