which regulations shall be deemed to be incorporated

inafter referred to as “the licensee”), to erect and maintain

hereto for the purpose of supplying power to a trackless
electric car.

SCHEDULE.

ALL that route from the tramway trolley-wires at Thorndon
tram-terminus to a pole on the north-western side of the
street; thence down the said pole to a street pillar-box;
thence up the said pole to the point marked X on the plan
marked P.W.D. 59863, hereinafter referred to; and proceed-
ing thence generally in a south-easterly direction to a point
in Thorndon Esplanade opposite the Thorndon tram-shed.

Also all that route commencing at the point marked X
aforesaid, and proceeding thence generally in a north-easterly
direction along the Hutt Road to a point opposite the Old
Porirua Road at Kaiwarra.

Also all that route (for the negative wire) from the
trackless-trolley wires near the junction of Thorndon Quay
and Thorndon Esplanade to a pole on the south-eastern side
of Thorndon Quay; thence down the said pole and under-
ground to the tram-rail near the Thorndon Tram-shed.

As the said routes are more particularly delineated on the
plan marked P.W.D. 59863, deposited in the office of the
Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Wellington
Land District, and thereon shown by blue, red, and green
lines.

2. The trolley-wires shall not be less than No. 2/0 S.W.G.
   hard-drawn solid copper wires, firmly attached to approved
   insulators, and erected on supports placed not more than
   130 ft. apart.

Trolley-wire feeder-cables, if carried overhead, shall be
covered with weatherproofed triple braiding: provided that,
where circumstances permit, the Minister may approve of
bare conductors being used; and provided that where electric
feeder-cables intersect the Post and Telegraph Department’s
lead-covered cables, vulcanized indiarubber insulation of
not less than 600 megohm grade shall be substituted for
weatherproofed triple braiding.

Double insulation shall be provided between the positive
and negative trolley-wires and between the positive trolley-
wire and earth. Single insulation shall be provided between
the negative trolley-wire and earth on all span wires and
pull-offs.

The maximum difference of potential between the positive
and negative trolley-wires, and between trolley-wire feeders
and the ground shall not exceed 650 volts.

The best means available shall be adopted for preventing
the occurrence of undue sparking at the rubbing or rolling
contacts in any place.

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 trolley-wire shall not in any part thereof be at a less
   height than 18 ft. from the surface of the ground; provided,
   however, and notwithstanding anything in the regulations,
   when passing underneath the Main Trunk Railway bridge
   the trolley-wire may be at a less height than 18 ft., but not less
   than 15 ft., from the surface of the ground, and so that the
   distance between the underside of the bridge and the trolley-
   wire shall be not more than 8 in., as shown on plan marked
   P.W.D. 59937, deposited in the office of the Minister of Public
   Works at Wellington.

5. (1.) Where telegraph, telephone, or electric-fire-alarm
   wires (hereinafter referred to as “the first-mentioned wires”)
   are carried along either overhead or underground on one side
   of the road to be used by the trackless electric car, the said
   electric lines, either overhead or underground of the trackless
   electric-car system shall be carried along on the other side
   thereof unless otherwise approved by the Minister of Tele-
   graphs.

(2.) At all points where it is necessary for the said electric
lines to be carried across the first-mentioned wires, they shall
be carried across and under the same at right angles if possible,
and the first-mentioned wires shall be carefully insulated at
the expense of the licensee over a sufficient length to prevent
any contact in the event of accident to either line, and proper
guard-wires effectively earthed shall be provided where neces-
sary, at the like expense, to prevent the first-mentioned wires,
or any other overhead wires, from getting into contact with
the said electric lines. Where the first-mentioned wires run
parallel to and higher than the said electric lines, and the poles
supporting the pull-off or span wires are on the same side of
the road as those supporting the first-mentioned wires, and
wherever it is considered that by reason of accident or
otherwise there is a danger of the first-mentioned wires
falling across the said electric lines or their supports, guard-
hooks and approved insulators, or other approved protective
devices, shall be provided and erected by and at the expense
of the licensee to the satisfaction of the Minister.

(3.) Where poles are erected on both sides of the road
those on one side of the road must comply with the require-
ments of the Minister of Telegraphs in order to provide
reasonable facilities for their joint use.

6. The design of all poles, posts, standards, brackets,
   and other attachments used in connection with the said
   electric lines shall be subject to the approval of the Minister,
   and they shall be constructed in accordance with such approved
   design, and erected in such manner, as is approved in writing
   by the Minister.

7. The licensee shall take all reasonable precautions in
   constructing, placing, and maintaining the said electric lines
   and other works of all descriptions, and also in working the
   undertaking so as not to injuriously affect by fusion or
   electrolytic action any gas or water pipes, sewers, drains, or
   conducts, or other pipes, structures, or substances or to
   injuriously interfere with the working of any telegraph,
   telephone, electric-lighting, or electric-fire-alarm lines or
   apparatus.

8. This license shall, unless sooner determined in accord-
   ance with the provisions hereinafter expressed, continue in
   force for a period of ten years from the date hereof. Upon
   expiry of the said term, or upon sooner determination of
   this license by revocation or otherwise, all rights hereby
   granted to the licensee shall cease and determine; but such
   expiration or determination shall not relieve the licensee of
   any liability theretofore incurred under this license.

9. The licensee shall rectify to the satisfaction of the Minister
   of Telegraphs or the Minister of Railways any interference
   or disturbance caused by the erection or operation of the
   licensee’s system that affects the satisfactory working of the
   telegraph-lines which are the property of the Telegraph or
   Railway Departments and which were erected prior to the
   licensee’s lines.

10. Notwithstanding anything contained in the regulations
    incorporated herein, no extensions or lines other than those
    along the routes hereinbefore described shall be deemed to be
    authorized by this license.

11. Should it be necessary at any time during the term of
    this license to repair, alter, or reconstruct the said Main Trunk
    Railway bridge the licensee shall at the request of the Minister
    of Railways disconnect the power under the said bridge from
    time to time and for such periods as may be deemed necessary
    by the Minister of Railways.
