Amendment of the Telegraph Lines Protection Regulations 1913.
(Statutory Rules 1913, No. 350.)
Regulation 38 is repealed, and the following Regulation is inserted in its stead:—
“38. (1) Where any aerial lines carrying not more than 650 volts are erected so as to cross one or more telegraph lines, they may pass over or, by permission of the Postmaster-General, under the telegraph lines, but so that the aerial lines are kept at least 2 feet clear of the telegraph lines in all directions. Where it is not practicable for the aerial lines to pass over or under the telegraph lines, then the Postmaster-General, or the officer authorized by him, may, if he is satisfied that his works will not be injuriously affected, grant permission, subject to such special conditions as he prescribes, for the aerial lines to pass between the telegraph lines.
“(2) Where aerial lines carrying more than 650 volts, alternating or continuous, cross wires of the Postmaster-General, the wires of the electric authorities shall cross above the wires of the Postmaster-General. The method of crossing shall also be to the satisfaction of the Postmaster-General, and, except with the permission of the Postmaster-General, the wires of the two systems shall not be within 4 feet of each other, nor shall the distance between any pole of the Postmaster-General and any wire of the electric authorities be less than 10 feet.

“(3) Where aerial lines cross a street or road, and cross one or more telegraph lines, the crossing of the road shall be made at an angle of not less than 60 degrees to the direction of the street or road.
“(4) The aerial lines shall be prevented from coming into contact with the lines of the Postmaster-General by approved guard wires efficiently connected with earth, or by some other method approved by the Postmaster-General.”
