   The said water shall be used solely for the purpose of gene-
   rating electricity, and the whole of such water shall be
   returned to the Teviot River at or near the power-house.
2. LOCATION OF HEADWORKS.
   The said water shall be taken from the said stream at the
   headworks, situated on the north bank of the Teviot River,
   at a point indicated on the plan marked P.W.D. 53891, de-
   posited in the office of the Minister at Wellington, in the

   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
   the expiry of the said term, or upon the 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.

   The licensee shall, in respect of this license, pay to the
   Public Works Engineer for the district, or otherwise as the
   Minister may from time to time require, a rental at the rate

   Nothing herein shall prevent the Governor-General in
   Council from granting to any person or body corporate other
   than the licensee a license to take water from any portion of
   the said stream, except at the place where the licensee is by
   this license empowered to take it; provided that no such
   license shall so operate as to reduce the natural fall between
   the headworks and tail-water, or the volume of the water
   which the licensee is by this license authorized to take from
   the said stream.
7. VARIATION IN CONDITIONS OF LICENSE.
   The terms and conditions of this license may at any time

   able equipment, machinery, buildings, poles, transmission-
   lines, and other plant herein authorized to be installed or
   provided. If the licensee fails or neglects so to remove the
