SCHEDULE.

1. THE ROUTES OF THE ELECTRIC LINES AUTHORIZED.

ALL that route commencing at the junction of Eden Street
and Mary Street in the Borough of Mount Eden, and pro-
ceeding thence along Mary Street to the junction of that
street with Normanby Road.

Also all that route commencing in Stokes Road at the
boundary between the Auckland City and the Mount Eden
Borough, and proceeding thence along Stokes Road and
portion of Mount Eden Road to a point opposite the Mount
Eden Post-office.

Also all that route commencing at the junction of Stokes
Road and Eglinton Avenue, and proceeding thence along
Eglinton Avenue to a point opposite the residence of Mr.
Eady (a distance of approximately 150 yards).

As indicated by red lines on P.W.D. 45358, 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
(b) (1) of clause 2 of the regulations.

The generating voltage shall be approximately 480 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 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

4. COVERING OF OVERHEAD LINES.

Electric lines at low pressure shall be covered throughout
with triple braiding, thoroughly impregnated with weather-
proof 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
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 Tele-
graphs deems it necessary to carry out in conse-
quence 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 or extra-high-pressure lines, and shall
be subject to the regulations governing high-pressure
and extra-high-pressure lines respectively.

(f.) In the event of any dispute as to whether or not tele-
graph lines are menaced by the electric lines the
decision of the Minister of Telegraphs shall be final.

5. NOTICES re EXTENSIONS, ETC.

Records of results of tests (Regulation 37), and notices re
commencement of work (Regulation 44) and re extensions
and alterations (Regulation 49), should be sent to the Under-
Secretary for Public Works, Wellington, and to the Telegraph
Engineer of the district, or his deputy, at present stationed
at Auckland.

6. CHARGES FOR ELECTRIC ENERGY.

The charge for electric energy shall not exceed 1s. per unit
for lighting purposes, and 6d. per unit for motor-power,
heating, or cooking purposes; provided that “lighting pur-
poses” shall include the operation of motor generators for
lighting purposes.

7. WIRING CONSUMERS’ PREMISES.—MONOPOLY FORBIDDEN.

The licensee shall not grant or agree to grant any company,
firm, or person the sole right to supply or erect the electric
wiring on any consumer’s premises, nor shall any consumer
be required to purchase from the licensee or his assigns any
material or apparatus for installing the electric wiring on
such premises, or to have the work carried out by the licensee
or his assigns, as a condition precedent to a supply of electrical
energy being given by the licensee to the consumer.

8. DURATION OF LICENSE.

This license shall expire on the same date as the license
issued to the licensee dated the 1st day of March, 1915, and
published in the New Zealand Gazette dated the 11th day
of March, 1915.

9. REQUIREMENTS OF THE MOUNT EDEN BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, the
licensee shall not be entitled to erect, maintain, or use any
electric lines within the Borough of Mount Eden, except
subject to such conditions, not inconsistent with the pro-
visions of this license and the regulations relating thereto,
or any variation of this license or the regulations, or any new

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 things as are required for the transmission of electri-
