By-laws 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 electrical energy to the Borough of
Rotorua is vested in the Department of Tourist 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:

And whereas by the license granted by the Governor-General
in Council as published in the New Zealand Gazette of the

5th November, 1931, and 1st October, 1936, the said Depart-
ment is authorized to generate electricity and erect electric
lines within the Borough of Rotorua and portion of the
County of Rotorua as set out in the Schedules to the said
licenses:

Now, therefore, the said Department, in pursuance of such
powers and all other powers thereunto enabling it, doth
hereby revoke By-laws No. 30 and 35 of the By-laws pub-
lished in the New Zealand Gazette of the 18th February, 1937,
and substitutes therefore the following amended by-laws,
and doth hereby declare that such revocation shall take effect
and such new by-laws shall come into force on the 1st day
of February, 1939.

BY-LAW 30.

If the Department should discontinue the supply to a
consumer for any of the reasons set out in By-law No. 29,
or if an installation is disconnected at the request of the
consumer for any reason other than a change of tenancy,
then a payment of 5s. shall be made for the reconnection
of such installation, together with reasonable travelling-
expenses if incurred by the Department in the case of installa-
tions outside the Borough of Rotorua.

BY-LAW 35.

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.

If the revenue from any existing or proposed installation
does not cover the cost of supply, the Department may impose
a connected-load charge in addition to the charge by meter.
Prepayment meters may be installed in any installation
at the discretion of the Department.

The Department may read meters monthly or quarterly or
at any other interval that best suits its convenience. Should
a special reading be required at any time to suit the con-
venience of the consumer, such reading will be made or a
card will be forwarded on which the consumer can enter
the reading of the meter or meters, and an account will be
prepared from the readings on this card. A charge may
be levied to cover the cost of the special readings as above.
Where premises are occupied intermittently, and/or a
reading of the meter is not obtained at the time of the ordinary
meter-reading, a card may be left for or sent to the consumer.
This card should be filled in and returned to the Department
to enable an account to be prepared.

Failing the receipt of the card within a period of ten days,
the Department will assume that the premises have been
unoccupied for the last period between regular meter-readings
and an account computed in accordance with clause 35 (g)
will be forwarded to the consumer.

In cases where the previous account or accounts have
been assessed in accordance with the preceding paragraph,
the Department on receiving a reading of the meter, may
compute the consumption on the basis that the consumer
has been in occupation for the whole or part of the period
from the date of the last actual reading. Such computation
shall not, however, prejudice the right of the consumer to
certify that the premises were occupied for a greater or lesser
period than that assessed by the Department. On receiving
such a certificate the Department will adjust the account
accordingly, provided the periods when the premises were
unoccupied exceed one month continuously.

The charges for energy supplied shall be computed monthly,
and shall be as follows:—

(a) (1) Lighting:—
1–280 units . . . . 5d. per unit.
280–1,000 units . . 4d. per unit.
Over 1,000 units . . 3d. per unit.

(2) Where prepayment meters are installed the charge
shall be 5½d. per unit for lighting and 1½d. per unit for
domestic heating and cooking purposes. This rate will be
operative from the date the new price mechanisms are
installed.
