   (ii) Class B: Installations in which the wiring is found
   to be defective under the licensee’s rules and regulations.
   (iii) Class C: Installations in which the wiring is worn
   out and under any conditions of supply would

   The cost consequent on the change-over shall be allocated
   between the licensee and the consumers in the following
   manner according to the class of the installation:
   (i) Class A: The whole of the cost shall be paid by the
   licensee: Provided always that in the case of
   extensions and alterations which have not been
   authorized by the licensee the cost of alterations
   thereto shall be borne by the consumer.
   (ii) Class B: The cost of removing all defects shall be
   paid by the consumer, and the cost of alteration
   due to change in system shall be paid by the licensee.
   (iii) Class C: The whole cost shall be paid by the consumer.

   shall include the operation of motor-generators for lighting
   purposes.
5. 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.
6. CONVERSION OF LINES FROM EARTH-WORKING TO METALLIC.
   Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the licensee
   shall bear the cost of converting the Railways or Post and
   Telegraph Department’s lines which are now erected from
   earth-working to metallic if such conversion is required by the
   Minister of Railways or the Minister of Telegraphs, owing
   to electrical interference arising from the licensee’s lines.
7. TELEGRAPH-LINES.
   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

   lines which are the property of the Telegraph Department
   or the Railway Department, and which were erected prior to
   the licensee’s lines.
8. ROUTES RESERVED FOR GOVERNMENT LINES.

   notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Act or in any
   rule of law, where a local authority or public body has been
   authorized before the passing of the said Act, or is thereafter
   authorized, to borrow money, whether pursuant to a poll of
   ratepayers or otherwise howsoever, whether the rate of interest
   or the term of years of the loan was or was not specified or
   determined, and such money or any part thereof has not
   been borrowed, the local authority or public body may, with
   the precedent consent of the Minister of Finance, borrow such
   money, or such amount thereof as has not been borrowed, at
   such rate of interest, or for such term, as may be prescribed
   by the Governor-General by Order in Council:
   And whereas the Clifton County Council has been authorized
   to borrow the sum of two hundred and fifty pounds for
   metalling Beach Road, Urenui, and purposes incidental

   consent as required by the above-recited section one hundred
   and fourteen, and it is desired that the rate of interest at
   which the money may be borrowed be not exceeding six per
   centum per annum:
   Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of
   the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of
   the power and authority vested in him as aforesaid, and acting
   by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council
   of the said Dominion, doth hereby prescribe that the rate of
   interest that may be paid by the Clifton County Council in
   respect of the said sum of two hundred and fifty pounds shall
