heating purposes within the area of supply hereinafter
described; and the lines already erected in the said area
of supply shall be deemed to be erected under this license,
and the provisions hereof shall apply as fully and effectively
as if this were the license originally issued.

SCHEDULE.

1. AREA OF SUPPLY.

THE area of supply shall comprise the whole of the County
of Heathcote as at present constituted and more particularly
delineated on the plan marked P.W.D. 75499, deposited in
the office of the Minister of Public Works at Wellington.

2. SYSTEM OF SUPPLY.

The system of supply shall be as described in paragraph (e)
of clause 5 of the regulations. Bulk supply at approximately
11,000 volts between phases shall be received from the Lake

be approximately 400 volts between phases and 230 volts
between any phase and neutral.

3. CHARGES FOR ELECTRIC SUPPLY.

The charge for electrical energy shall not exceed 7d. per

exceed 6d. for lighting purposes and 3d. for motor-power,
heating, and cooking purposes.

The licensee may make a minimum charge not exceeding
5s. per month, including meter rent, and such minimum
charge shall be printed on the licensee’s conditions of supply
to consumers.

In the case of wholesale supply the charge shall not exceed
£16 per kilowatt of maximum demand per annum. “Whole-
sale supply” for this purpose shall be held to be a supply
in respect of which the consumer shall guarantee to pay not
less than £120 per annum.

4. 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 cease and determine; but such
expiration or determination shall not relieve the licensee of
any liability theretofore incurred under this license.

5. 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 Departments’ 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.

6. 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 system that affects the satisfactory working of the
telegraph-lines which are the property of the Telegraph
Department or the Railway Department, and which were
erected prior to the licensee’s lines.

7. SUBSTITUTION OF 30 FT. POLES FOR 26 FT. POLES.

The licensee shall, when required to do so by the Minister
of Public Works, substitute 30 ft. poles for 26 ft. poles on the
portion of Wainoni Road between the points marked B–B
on plan P.W.D. 43134.

8. ROUTES RESERVED FOR GOVERNMENT LINES.

The licensee shall not, without the consent in writing of
the Minister of Public Works, erect any electric lines along
the routes of the Government main trunk transmission-lines.

9. LOCATION OF OVERHEAD LINES.

Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore 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
a road or street unless the permission of the Minister of
Telegraphs or the Post and Telegraph Department is first
obtained in accordance with clause 9 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.

10. VARIATIONS IN CONDITIONS OF LICENSE.

The terms and conditions of this license may at any time
or from time to time, at the request or with the consent in
writing of the licensee be altered by the Governor-General by
Order in Council.

11. PURCHASE OF INSTALLATION BY ELECTRIC-POWER BOARD.

Any Electric-power Board duly constituted in terms of the
Electric-power Boards Act, 1925, or any Act passed in amend-
ment thereof or in substitution therefor, shall, if its district
includes the area of supply hereinbefore described, have the
right, at any time during the currency of this license, to
purchase and take over the licensee’s installation in the said
area of supply, at a valuation to be agreed upon between the
said Board and licensee, and, failing such agreement, at a
valuation to be fixed by a single arbitrator to be appointed
pursuant to the provisions of the Arbitration Act, 1908, and
thereupon the Governor-General may by Order in Council
revoke this license.

12. DELEGATION OF POWERS OR FUNCTIONS IN AREA OF
    SUPPLY.

The licensee shall supply to the Minister of Public Works
two copies of every agreement made or to be made between
the licensee and any other person or body, whereby either
delegates to the other all or any of his powers, duties, or
functions; provided that nothing in this clause shall confer
any right to lay, construct, put up, place, or use any electric
lines except by authority of a license under section 319 of the
Public Works Act, 1928, issued to the person or body by
whom the lines are to be erected.
