Season tickets will be issued at half the usual

upon production of satisfactory certificates from the
authorities of the school, or from the employers, as
the case may be. Season tickets are not transferable;
and if used by any other than the person to whom
they were issued, they are forfeited.

Holders of season tickets must undertake to pro-
duce their tickets for examination when required to
do so by the proper officer of the railway, and to
sign their names when desired so to do in the books
of the railway provided for that purpose.

In the event of the loss of a season ticket, the
holder will not be entitled to another in lieu thereof
without another payment.

Season tickets are required to be delivered up to
the Railway Department on or before the date of
expiry, on which date they cease to be in force.

Season tickets may be obtained at any date on ap-
plication either personally or in writing at the Traffic
Manager's Office, Invercargill, and the General Man-
ager's Office, Dunedin, or by written application
transmitted through any of the Railway Station Mas-
ters. Twenty-four hours' notice should be given in
all cases. Applicants will be required to subscribe
to the railway rules, by-laws, and regulations, before
the tickets can be delivered to them.
