and provisions subject to which he will be prepared to advise
His Excellency the Governor-General in Council to entertain
applications for licenses under section 2 of the Public Works
Amendment Act, 1911.
(1.) Every application for a license to construct and use
electric lines for lighting and other purposes under section
2 of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, must be
made in writing to the Minister of Public Works at Wellington,
and be accompanied by a plan (in triplicate) showing
by means of a distinctive coloured border thereon the pro-
posed area of supply, the position of the power-house and
substations, and the route or routes of the electric lines
proposed in the initial installation, indicating in each case
where the lines cross telegraph and telephone lines, railways,
and tramways, and full particulars as regards--
(a.) System of supply, voltage of generation, transmission,
and distribution; manner in which the electricity is generated--i.e., whether by water power, steam or oil engine,
&c., if the power is to be purchased in bulk, the source and
nature of such bulk supply; the rated kilowatt output of the
generators to be installed. In the case of a water-power
development the static head in feet to be stated, also the
number of cubic feet of water per second proposed to be
utilized.
(b.) In cases where the applicant is a private individual,
the full name, occupation, and address must be supplied.
(2.) In cases where the applicant is not a local authority,
or if a local authority desires to operate beyond its own
boundaries, the consent of the local authority concerned
must be obtained and forwarded with the application.
(3.) No work shall be commenced until the license has been
issued, and no portion of the initial installation shall be used
until a formal permit in writing has been received from the
Minister.
(4.) Applications for bare-wire permits must be accom-
panied by a suitable plan (in triplicate) showing the routes
of such wires, the electrical pressure, the number of wires
on each pole, the height of pole, and the covering and electrical pressure of other wires (if any) on the same poles.
If any lines are deemed to be "infected" in accordance
with the regulations, clause 25 (r) under section 2 of the
Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, and published in the New Zealand Gazette No. 116, of the 25th day of September,
1919, by being erected on other portions of their route on

size where possible, or, if necessary to exceed this size, not
greater than 22 in. by 30 in. The scale in any case should
be not less than one inch per mile.
(7.) In order to standardize the conditions as far as pos-
sible throughout the Dominion, it is suggested that when
convenient the three-phase four-wire system be adopted for
distribution at a frequency of 50 cycles per second, and a
voltage of 230 between each phase and a neutral for lighting
purposes and small motors, and 400 volts between phases
for supply to large motors.
