twelfth day of the same month, or any regulations hereafter
made in amendment thereof or in substitution therefor (and
hereinafter collectively referred to as "the regulations"), and
which regulations shall be deemed to be incorporated herein—
hereby authorize the Grey Electric-power Board, being an
electric-power Board constituted under the provisions of the
Electric-power Boards Act, 1918 (hereinafter with its successors and assigns referred to as "the licensee") to use electric
lines for power, lighting, heating, or other uses within the
Grey Electric-power District and outer area, as defined by
Proclamation dated the twentieth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two, and published in the New
Zealand Gazette No. 76, of the twenty-sixth day of October,
one thousand nine hundred and twenty-two; such electric
lines at present proposed to be used being indicated on the
plan marked P.W.D. 65102, and deposited in the office of the
Minister of Public Works at Wellington, in the Wellington
Land District.

SCHEDULE.

1. SYSTEM OF SUPPLY.
   The system of supply shall be as described in paragraph (e)
   of clause 2 of the regulations.
   The generating voltage shall be approximately 6,600 volts
   between the terminals, and transformed to 11,000 volts for
   transmission.

2. MAINTENANCE OF WORKS.
   The licensee shall maintain the works used under this
   license in proper working-order during the continuance of
   such license.

3. DURATION OF LICENSE.
   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.

4. CHARGES FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
   The charges for electrical energy shall not exceed 1s. per
   unit for lighting purposes, and 6d. per unit for motor-power,
   heating, or cooking purposes; provided that "lighting purposes" shall include the operation of motor generators for
   lighting purposes; and provided further that if accounts are
   paid within fourteen days of due date the charges shall not
   exceed 9d. per unit for lighting purposes and 4½d. per unit
   for motor-power, cooking, and heating purposes.

In the case of wholesale supply the charge shall not exceed
£16 per kilovolt-ampere per year plus ½d. per unit. Wholesale
supply for this purpose shall be held to be a supply in
respect of which the consumer shall guarantee to pay not less
than £180 per annum.

5. INTERCHANGE OF SUPPLY OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY.
   (a.) In the event of the Minister establishing a hydro-electric-power scheme outside the area of supply of a frequency of 50 cycles per second on the three-phase-alternating-current system, he may require the licensee to connect that
   scheme with the licensee's electrical system in such a manner
   that an interchange of electrical energy between the two
   systems may be made from time to time and when required
   by either the licensee or the Minister, up to at least one-half
   of the total capacity of the plant installed at the licensee's
   power-house.

(b.) The licensee shall erect and maintain in good order, at
the expense of the licensee, the necessary transmission-lines
between the licensee's power-house and a point on the boundary of the area of supply to be determined by the Minister.

(c.) The Minister shall erect and maintain in good order, at
the expense of the Minister, the necessary transmission-lines
outside the area of supply for the purpose of connecting the
two systems at the point last mentioned in subclause (b)
hereof.

(d.) The licensee and the Minister respectively shall, on
demand, and from time to time as and when required, supply
to each other so much of the surplus electrical energy as is
then required and is available, but not in excess of one-half
of the capacity of the plant installed in the licensee's powerhouse.

(e.) The price to be paid by the licensee or the Minister
shall not exceed the following rates:—
Between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily: 1d. per
unit.
Between the hours of 8 p.m. and 8 a.m. daily: ½d. per
unit.

To be measured in each case at the point last mentioned in
subclause (b) hereof.
(f.) For the purpose of this clause, either the licensee or
the Minister may have the unit measured in kilovolt-amperes
hours instead of kilowatt hours.

6. CONVERSION OF LINES FROM EARTH-WORKING TO METALLIC.
   Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the licensee
   shall bear the cost of converting the Railway and Post or
   Telegraph Department’s lines which are now erected from
   earth-working to metallic, if required by the Minister of
   Railways or Telegraphs owing to electrical interference
   arising from the licensee’s lines.

7. RAILWAY OR TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT'S LINES.
   The licensee shall rectify to the satisfaction of the Minister
   of Railways or Telegraphs any interference or disturbance
   caused by the erection or operation of the licensee's system
   that affects the satisfactory working of telegraph-lines which
   are the property of the Railway or Telegraph Department,
   and which were erected prior to the licensee's lines.

8. LOCATION OF OVERHEAD LINES.
   Notwithstanding anything herein contained, one side of
   every road or street shall be left free by the licensee for
   telegraph-lines. Lines shall not be erected on both sides
   of the street, unless the permission of the Minister of Telegraphs or the Post and Telegraph Department is first obtained
   in accordance with clause 5 of the regulations. Except at
   crossing-places, the minimum separation between a telephone-line and poles carrying high or extra-high tension circuits
   shall be equal to the height of the taller pole, provided that
   where the minimum separation is unobtainable the licensee
   shall bear the cost of any special protection deemed necessary
   by the Minister of Telegraphs.

9. ERECTION OF POWER-LINES.
   The erection of power-lines on or adjacent to the route of
   the extra-high-pressure lines, as indicated on drawings 54,
   55, and 56 of the said plan P.W.;D. 65102, shall be subject to
   arrangements made on the spot by the licensee's engineer
   to the satisfaction of the Telegraph Engineer.
