made or to be made in amendment thereof or in substitution
therefor (and hereinafter collectively referred to as “the
regulations”), and which regulations shall be deemed to
be incorporated herein, hereby authorize the Christchurch

trackless electric cars.

SCHEDULE.

1. ALL those routes shown by red and blue lines on the plans
   deposited in the office of the Minister of Public Works at
   Wellington, and marked P.W.D. 84869, the said routes being
   generally described as follows:—
   (a) Lines for one-way traffic commencing from the present
   trackless tram overhead lines at the intersection of Cashel
   Street and Fitzgerald Avenue and thence running easterly
   along Cashel Street to its junction with Stanmore Road;
   thence northerly along Stanmore Road to its junction with
   Worcester Street, a distance of 39 chains, more or less, as
   shown more particularly on plan G. 259.
   (b) Lines for two-way traffic commencing from the junction
   of Stanmore Road and Worcester Street as aforesaid, and
   proceeding thence northerly along Stanmore Road to its
   junction with North Avon Road; thence easterly along
   North Avon Road to its junction with Tweed Street, a distance
   of 1 mile 41 chains, more or less, with a balloon loop at this
   junction for turning purposes, all as shown more particularly
   on plans Nos. G. 259 and G. 260.
   (c) Lines for two-way traffic commencing from the junction
   of North Avon Road and Tweed Street as aforesaid, and
   proceeding thence easterly along North Avon Road to its
   junction with North Parade; thence north-easterly along
   North Parade to its junction with Shirley Road, there connect-
   ing with the present Burwood and North Beach trackless
   electric tram service, a distance of 2 miles 21 chains, more
   or less. A balloon loop for turning purposes will also be
   installed at this point, all as shown more particularly on
   plan No. G. 260.
   (d) Lines for one-way traffic commencing from the junction
   of Stanmore Road and Worcester Street, and proceeding
   westerly along Worcester Street to its junction with Fitz-
   gerald Avenue, connecting at that point with the present
   trackless electric tram power lines, a distance of 26 chains,
   more or less, as shown more particularly on plan No. G. 259.
2. The trolley-wires shall not be less than No. 2/0 S.W.G.
   hard-drawn solid copper or cadmium-copper wires, firmly
   attached to approved insulators, and erected on supports
   placed not more than 130 ft. apart.
   Trolley-wire feeder-cables, if carried overhead, shall be
   covered with weatherproof triple braiding: Provided that,
   where circumstances permit, the Minister may approve of
   bare conductors being used; and provided that where electric
   feeder-cables intersect the Post and Telegraph Department’s
   lead-covered cables, vulcanized indiarubber insulation of
   not less than 600 megohm grade shall be substituted for
   weatherproof triple braiding.
   Double insulation shall be provided between the positive
   and negative trolley-wires and between the positive trolley-wire
   and earth. Single insulation shall be provided between
   the negative trolley-wire and earth on all span wires and pull-
   offs.
   The maximum difference of potential between the
   positive and negative trolley-wires, and between trolley-wire
   feeders and the ground, shall not exceed 650 volts.
   The spacing of trolley-wires shall be such as to prevent
   bridging by the trolley-wheel or pole.
   The best means available shall be adopted for preventing
   the occurrence of undue sparking at the rubbing or rolling
   contacts in any place.
3. The conductors shall be carried on substantial and
   durable supports, which shall be designed to have a factor
   of safety of four in the case of steel, iron, or ferro-concrete,
   and five in the case of wood, calculated upon the ultimate
   strength of the material, assuming the wind-pressure to be
   30 lb. per square foot upon a plane surface and 18 lb. per
   square foot upon a diametral plane upon a cylindrical surface.
4. The trolley-wire shall not in any part thereof be at a less
   height than 18 ft. from the surface of the ground.
5. (i) Where telegraph, telephone, or electric-fire-alarm
   wires (hereinafter referred to as “the first-mentioned wires”)
   are carried along either overhead or underground on one side
   of the road to be used by the trackless electric car, the said
   electric lines (either overhead or underground) of the trackless
   electric-car system shall be carried along on the other
   side thereof unless otherwise approved by the Minister of
   Telegraphs.
   (ii) At all points where it is necessary for the said electric
   lines to be carried across the first-mentioned wires, they shall
   be carried across and under the same at right angles if possible,
   and the first-mentioned wires shall be carefully insulated at
   the expense of the licensee over a sufficient length to prevent
   any contact in the event of accident to either line, and
   proper guard-wires effectively earthed shall be provided where
   necessary, at the like expense, to prevent the first-mentioned
   wires or any other overhead wires from getting into contact
   with the said electric lines. Where the first-mentioned wires
   run parallel to and higher than the said electric lines, and the
   poles supporting the pull-off or span wires are on the same
   side of the road as those supporting the first-mentioned
   wires, and wherever it is considered that by reason of accident
   or otherwise there is a danger of the first-mentioned wires
   falling across the said electric lines or their supports, guard-
   hooks and approved insulators, or other approved protective
   devices, shall be provided and erected by and at the expense
   of the licensee to the satisfaction of the Minister.
   (iii) Where poles are erected on both sides of the road,
   those on the one side of the road must comply with the
   requirements of the Minister of Telegraphs in order to provide
   reasonable facilities for their joint use.
6. The design of all poles, posts, standards, brackets, and
   other attachments used in connection with the said electric
   lines shall be subject to the approval of the Minister, and
   they shall be constructed in accordance with such approved
   design, and erected in such manner as is approved in writing
   by the Minister.
7. The licensee shall take all reasonable precautions in
   constructing, placing, and maintaining the said electric lines
   and other works of all descriptions, and also in working the
   undertaking so as not to injuriously affect by fusion or
   electrolytic action any gas or water pipes, sewers, drains,
   or conduits, or other pipes, structures, or substances, or
   to injuriously interfere with the working of any telegraph,
   telephone, electric-lighting, or electric-fire-alarm lines or
   apparatus.
8. This license shall, unless sooner determined in accordance
   with the provisions hereinafter expressed, continue in force
   for a period of ten years from the date hereof. Upon
   expiry of the said term, or upon 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.
9. The licensee shall rectify to the satisfaction of the
   Minister of Telegraphs or the Minister of Railways any inter-
   ference 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
   or Railways Departments and which were erected prior to
   the licensee’s lines.
10. Notwithstanding anything contained in the regulations
    incorporated herein, no extensions or lines other than those
    along the routes hereinbefore described shall be deemed to be
    authorized by this license.
11. No electric car shall be supplied with electric power
    from the lines hereby authorized to be erected unless the
    licensee first receives from the Minister of Public Works a
    Warrant authorizing the use of that car.
