Amending By-law under the Rotorua Borough Act, 1922.

WHEREAS by section 8 of the Rotorua Borough Act, 1922, the control and ownership of electric light and power for supply of electric energy to the Borough of Rotorua is vested in the Department of Tourists and Health Resorts, as incorporated by the Rotorua Town Act, 1907, and the Rotorua Borough Act, 1922: And whereas in respect of these works the said Department has all the power for the time being conferred by law on Borough Councils, except the power to borrow money or make and levy any special rate:

Now, therefore, the said Department, in pursuance of such power, hereby makes the following amendment of the by-laws made under Part XIII of the Rotorua Borough By-laws made under the Rotorua Borough Act, 1922, and published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 12th October, 1922, and revokes By-law 37 as published in the New Zealand Gazette of the 2nd May, 1929, and substitutes therefor the following new by-law, and doth hereby declare that the said new by-law and such revocation shall take effect and shall come into force on the 1st day of January, 1930.

BY-LAW.

37. The price for electrical energy supplied by the Department will be calculated on the Board of Trade unit consisting of 1,000 watt-hours. All energy will be charged according to meter register, but should a supply be given before a meter is installed the consumer shall pay for current supplied during such period a sum based upon the number and capacity of lamps and other apparatus installed.

In all cases units may, at the option of the Department, be measured as kilovolt-ampere hours instead of kilowatt-hours if the power factor of the consumer’s load falls below 90 per cent.

Should the meter prove defective in any way, or be removed for testing or repair, the consumer shall pay per month for energy supplied during such period a sum based on the average former reading of the meter.

The charges for energy supplied shall be as follows, viz.:

(a) For each unit for lighting, 9d. (subject to the following discounts): On first 50 units per month, 2d. per unit; on all units over 50 per month, 3d. per unit.

(b) For floodlights, or advertising-lighting, the following alternative to clause (a) is available: The consumer may pay a monthly charge at the rate of 2s. per 100-watt lamp, the energy consumed to be charged for at ordinary heating-rates (clause (c)).

(c) For each unit for ordinary power, heating, and domestic appliances, up to and including 1,000 units, 4d. per unit. For each unit over 1,000 units, 1d. per unit net, subject to the following discounts:

(1) On the first 20 units, 1d. per unit; on all units over 20 and not exceeding 1,000, 2d. per unit; except that when energy for commercial or industrial purposes is used during evening hours, in addition to daylight hours, the total consumption will be charged at 4d. per unit, and the discount shall be (irrespective of units consumed) 1d. per unit.

(2) When an electric cooking-range, or apparatus of a similar nature, is installed the discount will be 2½d. per unit for all units over 50 per month used by such range or apparatus. This rate shall not apply to office radiators or ordinary motor-supply.

(3) When a consumer installs an electric cooking-range a special discount of 3d. per unit will be allowed on all energy consumed by such range during the six months immediately following its installation.

(4) When a consumer installs a synchronous motor, and such motor is operated at not less than unity power-factor, a special and additional discount of 10 per cent. will be allowed.

(d) For each unit for arc generators for picture-theatres, or for similar supply, 6d. (subject to a discount of 2d. per unit).

(e) (1) For commercial or domestic hot-water heating, where the use is limited to “off peak” hours, supply will be given at a special net rate per unit of 4d., with an additional minimum charge for this service of 2s. 6d. per month.

Such minimum charge shall be additional to the minimum charges provided for in subclause (g) hereof.

(2) If to control this use of energy it is necessary to use a time switch, the consumer shall supply an approved time switch.

(3) If the switch is supplied by the Department the consumer shall pay rent for such at the rate of 12s. per annum.
