ELECTRICAL REGULATIONS
(From Our Oven Correspondent.) 5 TE AROHA, To-day. * A clause in the electrical regul tions. of interest to farmers was cussed by the Thames Valley Power Board at its last meeting. It appeared that each consumer was required '.<» nimaintain in a safe condition, and in all respects fit for conveying and utilising electric energy, all electric lines, wires, fittings, apparatus and appliances be - » longing to him. The effect of this was that the consumer was responsible for the condition of poles and wires between the road or street and his residence. Legal opinion pointed out that the old regulations placed the responsibility on the board, or licensee, for the safe conditions of all service lines. If a cow were killed through a consum- ; er’s wire falling, the board had to pay , compensation. Now the board had to pay only for the damage caused by its own lines, and the user was responsible for the lines connecting his service with the street or road lines. This did not apply to cases where the board had to take poles across country.
