License authorizing the Wellington City Council to erect Electric
Lines from the Tramway Trolley-wire in Princes Street to
the Premises of Taubman's New Zealand (Limited), Kings
Road, Miramar.

JELLICOE, Governor-General.
ORDER IN COUNCIL.
At the Government House at Wellington, this 4th day of
September, 1922.
Present:
His Excellency the Governor-General in Council.
WHEREAS by section two of the Public Works Amendment Act, 1911, it is provided that no person shall
lay, construct, put up, place, or use any electric line except
under the authority of a license issued to him by the Governor
in Council under that Act:
And whereas the Wellington City Council (hereinafter
referred to as "the licensee") desires to erect an electric line
from the tramway trolley-wire in Princes Street, Miramar,
there generally in a north-westerly direction across Old
Farm Road and along Kings Road to the premises of
Taubman's New Zealand (Limited), situated on Lot 17, D.P.
1335, in the City of Wellington (hereinafter referred to as
"the said electric line"), and it is expedient accordingly to
issue a license in respect thereof under the said section:
Now, therefore, in pursuance and in exercise of the powers
conferred on him by the said section, and of all other powers
in anywise enabling him in this behalf, His Excellency the
Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting
by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
of the said Dominion, doth, subject to the conditions set
forth in the Schedule hereto, hereby authorize the licensee
to erect and maintain the said electric line for the purpose of
supplying power to a motor, such electric line and the
position of the premises being indicated in red and black
lines on the plan marked P.W.D. 54871, deposited in the
office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the
Wellington Land District.

SCHEDULE.
CONDITIONS.

1. In this license the following words and phrases shall have
   the meanings hereby attached to them respectively:—
   "Earthed" means connected to the general mass of
   earth in such a manner as to ensure at all times an
   immediate and safe discharge to earth of electric
   energy.
   "Electric line" means any wire, wires, conductor, or
   other means used for conveying, transmitting, or
   distributing electricity for power, lighting, or heating purposes; and includes any instrument, insulator,
   casing, tubing, pipe-covering, or pole enclosing or
   supporting an electric line, or anything connected
   therewith.
   "Inspecting Engineer" means and includes any Inspecting Engineer appointed by the Minister to inspect
   the works to be constructed or maintained by virtue
   of electric-line licenses issued under the Public
   Works Act, 1908, and any or all of its amendments,
   or under any one or more of such amendments only,
   or any Act or Acts passed in amendment thereof
   or substitution therefor.
   "Minister" means Minister of Public Works.
   "Telegraph" includes telephone.

"Telegraph line" has the same meaning as "electric
line" in the Post and Telegraph Act, 1908, and also
includes all telegraph, telephone, and electric signaling
wires belonging to the Government Railways
Department.
2. The conductors shall not be less than 7/18 S.W.G.
hard-drawn wires, firmly attached to porcelain insulators,
and erected on supports placed not more than 150 ft. apart.
The positive conductor shall be covered throughout, and the
covering may consist of vulcanized indiarubber or of triple
braiding thoroughly impregnated with weatherproof compound. The negative conductor may be bare.
3. The conductors shall be carried on substantial and
durable supports, which shall be designed to have a factor
of safety of four in the case of steel, iron, or ferro-concrete,
and five in the case of wood, calculated upon the ultimate
strength of the material, assuming the wind-pressure to be
30 lb. per square foot upon a plane surface, and 18 lb. per
square foot upon a diametral plane upon a cylindrical surface.
4. The conductors shall not in any part thereof be at a less
height than 18 ft. from the surface of the ground.
5. A single-pole fuse cut-out shall be inserted in the positive
conductor, and arranged to operate with an overload of 100
per cent. above the rated full load of the circuit. Such fuse
cut-out shall be placed in a suitable locked or sealed receptacle
of fireproof construction fixed at a convenient height on the
pole nearest the point where the positive conductor leaves
the trolley-wire or feeder. At the distributing-point of a
lighting circuit there shall be inserted in the positive conductor a single-pole switch, together with a fuse arranged to
operate with an overload of 50 per cent. above the rated full
load of such circuit. In a motor circuit there shall be provided, in the immediate vicinity of each motor connected
thereto, a double-pole switch and fuse cut-out or circuitbreaker arranged to operate with an overload of 50 per cent.
above the rated full load of the motor so controlled. Each
motor shall be fitted with a no-volt release and a series
resistance.
6. The negative conductor shall, in a lighting circuit, be
continuous throughout its length from the lamps to the
tramway-rail, to which it shall be effectively bonded, and in
a motor circuit from the switch terminal to the tramway-rail,
to which it shall be effectively bonded.
7. At telegraph-line crossings the conductors shall pass
over or under, as may be decided by the Minister of Telegraphs. In every crossing-span the maximum tension in any
conductor shall not exceed one-half the elastic limit of the
conductor under the conditions of a minimum temperature of
20° F. and wind-pressure as specified in clause 3 occurring
simultaneously. Efficiently earthed guard-wires, to the satisfaction of the Minister of Telegraphs, shall be erected where
such protection may be considered necessary by the Minister
of Telegraphs, and earth-wires where led down poles shall be
protected by a casing for a distance of 8 ft. from the ground.
Guard-wires shall be carried on substantial supports at a
height of 2 ft. above the said electric lines if the telegraph
lines pass over the said electric lines, or 2 ft. above the telegraph lines if they pass under the said electric lines. In
addition to the above precautions, telegraph lines shall be
suitably insulated if deemed necessary by the Minister of
Telegraphs. The cost of all necessary guard-wires and special
provisions required to comply with this clause, or deemed to
be necessary as a protection to telegraph lines generally, shall
be borne by the licensee when the telegraph lines are erected
before the said electric lines. In cases where the said electric
lines are erected before the telegraph lines, the licensee, on
receipt of notice from the District Telegraph Engineer of the
Post and Telegraph Department, or his deputy, that it is
proposed to run a telegraph line along the route, shall forthwith make the necessary changes required to comply with this
clause at any points at which the said electric lines already
cross such routes, the cost of such changes being borne by the
Post and Telegraph Department.
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
October, 1922, and shall be completed on or before the 1st
day of March, 1923.
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.
