And whereas the Otaki Town Board (hereinafter referred to as “the licensee”) desires to erect lines within the area of supply as defined in the Schedule hereto, and hereinafter called “the area of supply,” and it is expedient accordingly to issue a license in respect thereof under the said section :

SCHEDULE.

1. AREA OF SUPPLY.

THE area of supply comprises the Town District of Otaki as at present constituted, as indicated by a distinctive border coloured pink on P.W.D. 45337, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Land District of Wellington.

2. SYSTEM OF SUPPLY.

The system of supply shall be as described in paragraph (e) of clause 2 of the regulations.

The generating voltage shall be approximately 3,300 volts between the terminals.

3. DATUM TEMPERATURE.

For the purpose of calculating the stresses as provided in clause 12 of the regulations the datum temperature shall be taken as 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. COVERING OF OVERHEAD LINES.

Electric lines at low pressure shall be covered throughout with triple braiding, thoroughly impregnated with weatherproof compound; provided that where circumstances permit the lines may, with the written consent of the Minister obtained before the work is commenced, be bare. 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 written consent of the Minister obtained before the work is commenced, be bare.

Electric lines at extra high pressure shall be bare.

Earthed neutral or intermediate conductors may in all cases be bare.

Every pole or support carrying extra-high-pressure lines or high-pressure lines, the conductors of which are bare, shall have attached to it a plate marked “Danger—Live Wires.”

Bare low-pressure and bare high-pressure electric lines erected with the written consent of the Minister shall be subject to the following conditions:—

(a.) The electric lines upon which workmen are engaged shall be disconnected from the source of supply, but if a suitable raised platform is used the electric lines need not be so disconnected.

(b.) Where telegraph lines intersect or are menaced by the licensee’s bare electric lines, the licensee shall bear the cost of insulating, protecting, and maintaining the insulation and protection of all telegraph lines, whether erected before or after the bare electric lines, and also the cost of all special work and the maintenance thereof which the Minister of Telegraphs deems necessary to carry out in consequence of the licensee’s electric lines being bare.

(c.) When, in the opinion of the Minister of Telegraphs, it is considered necessary that such bare electric lines at any crossing should be replaced by electric lines insulated in the manner prescribed in the first part of this clause, the licensee, at his own expense, shall insulate such bare electric lines when requested to do so by the Minister of Telegraphs.

(d.) When, in the opinion of the Minister, it is necessary in the interests of the public safety that the use of bare electric lines should be discontinued, the licensee shall, upon receiving notice from the Minister, substitute therefor electric lines covered in the manner prescribed by the first part of this clause.

(e.) Low-pressure wires, whether braided or bare, which at any portion of their length are carried on the same poles or supports as bare high-pressure lines or extra-high-pressure lines shall be deemed to be “infected” throughout their entire length by such high-pressure
