JULY 21.] THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE. 1693

66. Where difficulties inherent to the nature of radio-communication may be overcome by a reasonable extension of the powers normally conferred under these regulations, the Minister may grant to the licensee, in writing, such privileges as in his opinion may be necessary.

67. Licensees shall report to the Secretary, General Post Office, Wellington, any breach of these regulations or of the International Radio-telegraph Convention that may come under their notice.

68. The Minister, or any agent authorized in that behalf in writing by him, may at any time for the purpose of inspection enter upon any station, and may inspect any apparatus fixed or being in such station for the purpose of sending and/or receiving messages by radio-telegraphy, and all other telegraphic instruments and apparatus fixed or being in such station, and the working and use of such apparatus and telegraphic instruments, and also for the purpose of determining whether the number and qualifications of the operators employed conform to the requirements of these regulations: Provided that in respect of mobile stations the powers conferred by this regulation shall be in addition but without prejudice to any powers exercisable under Part III of these regulations.

69. The Minister shall decide whether the requirements of these regulations have been complied with and may from time to time cause inquiry to be made into any matter connected therewith or arising thereunder, in such manner as he thinks fit, and his decision shall be final; and licensees and operators shall comply strictly with such decision.

70. Any notice, request, or consent (whether required to be in writing or not) to be given by the Minister under these regulations may be under the hand of the Secretary or other authorized officer of the Post and Telegraph Department, and may be served by sending the same in a registered letter addressed to the licensee at the office or place of residence for the time being of the licensee, or, if such notice, request, or consent relates to any particular ship station, by delivery to the master of the ship upon which such station is installed; and any notice to be given by the licensee under these regulations may be served by sending the same in a registered letter addressed to the Secretary, General Post Office, Wellington.

PART II.

RECEIVING STATIONS.

71. Radio receiving stations shall be subject to the provisions of Part I of these regulations as far as they are applicable to such stations, and also to the provisions of this Part.

72. In the case of receiving-apparatus used on frequency bands reserved for broadcasting—

(a) It shall be an offence against these regulations for any licensee or other person to use, or for any licensee to permit the use of, any receiving-set in an oscillating condition to the detriment of reception by other licensees.

(b) All receivers in which radio-frequency oscillations are produced either continuously during operation or may be produced during the process of “tuning-in” shall have the various constants of their circuits (including anode voltage) such that oscillation is reduced to a minimum irrespective of any detrimental effect such reduction in the intensity of oscillation may have on the efficiency of the particular set, or shall have the portions of the set in which radio-frequency oscillations occur adequately screened so as to preclude radiation therefrom.

(c) No licensee or other person shall use, and no licensee shall permit the use of, any receiving-set in which use is made of regenerative amplification unless such receiving-set is fitted with separate controls of reaction and tuning, which, as far as is practicable, shall be independent in their operation.

73. (1) Except as otherwise provided in this regulation, the fees for radio receiving-station licenses shall be as follows (payable in advance):—

(a) For an “ordinary” license, £1 10s. per annum.

(b) For a “multiple” license—

For each receiver having connected therewith up to twenty receiving points (rooms), £5 per annum.

For each additional twenty points or less, £1 per annum.
