8. No work of any nature shall be erected or constructed upon, over, or under any part of the New Zealand Government Railways until the licensee has obtained the consent of the Minister of Railways thereto, as required by section 4 of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1910 (No. 2).

9. The construction of the works hereby authorized shall be substantially commenced on or before the 1st day of July, 1916, and shall be completed on or before the 1st day of October, 1916.

10. The licensee shall, prior to the completion of the said works, give to the Minister at least seven days’ notice in writing of the estimated date of such completion.

11. The licensee shall not use the said electric lines, or permit the same to be used, until the Minister has given notice in writing to the licensee that he has received from the Inspecting Engineer a certificate that the work hereby authorized has been satisfactorily carried out.

12. The said electric lines 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.

13. 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. The Minister may at any time order an inspection to be made of the said electric lines. If any defect is found to exist it must be remedied forthwith; and if, in the opinion of the officer or person inspecting, such default is serious the Minister may, on receipt of the report, direct the licensee to at once cease transmitting energy either over the whole of the said electric lines or over any specified part thereof until such defect is repaired or remedied. In default of the licensee remedying the defect or ceasing to transmit energy the licensee shall be liable to a penalty of £20 for each day during which the defect remains if energy is transmitted, such penalty to be recoverable by or on behalf of the Minister as a debt due to the Crown. The cost of such inspection shall be borne by the licensee.

16. 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.

17. 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 the said works.

18. 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.

19. The regulations made under section two of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, and published in the New Zealand Gazette dated 29th day of April, 1915, shall not apply to this license.

20. This license shall, unless sooner determined in accordance with the provisions hereinafter expressed, continue in force for a period of forty-two years from the date hereof. Upon expiry of the said term, or upon sooner determination of this license by revocation or otherwise, all rights hereby granted to the licensee shall thereupon cease and determine; but such expiration or determination shall not relieve the licensee of any liability theretofore incurred under this license.
