For this purpose the units generated shall be recorded at
the end of each half-hour commencing from noon of each day.
Electrical energy generated under this license and used
under the Mining Act, 1926, for the licensee’s own use for
mining purposes only, and electrical energy so generated and
supplied to the Rimu Gold-dredging Company (Limited) for
dredges operated by such company shall be separately metered

Provided that no such license shall so operate as to reduce
the natural fall between the headworks and tail-water, or the
volumes of the water which the licensee is by this license
authorized to take from the said lake or river.
