THE NEW. ZEALAND GAZETTE.

SECOND CLASS.

Season tickets will be issued at half the usual
rates to scholars under 17 years of age, and to
apprentices and articled pupils under 21 years of age,
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 are 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
application either personally or in writing at the
Traffic Manager's Office, Invercargill, and the General
Manager's Office, Dunedin, or by written application
transmitted through any of the railway Station
Masters. 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.

GENERAL REGULATIONS.

Mean Time kept at all Stations.

Notice.—In order to secure the punctual departure
of trains, passengers are requested to be at the
stations at least five minutes before the time ap-
pointed for starting, and earlier if they have luggage,
as the Government cannot be responsible for pas-
sengers not going by any train, unless they have
taken their seats before the time it is due to start, or
for any luggage not being sent on if it is not in the
station, and labelled, at least five minutes before the
advertised time of departure of the train.

Children under three years travel free; those
above three years and under twelve, at half-price.

Tickets must be shown to the railway servants, or
delivered up to them when demanded. Parties not
producing their tickets are liable to be charged the
fare from the most distant station from which the
train shall have started. They are only available on
the day of issue, and are not transferable. Parties
cannot re-book at an intermediate station by the
same train. No tickets will be issued after a train
arrives at an intermediate station.

Tickets.—Passengers are requested to examine

their tickets and change before leaving the booking
office counter, as mistakes cannot afterwards be
rectified.

The Government will not undertake to make any
allowance for tickets lost, mislaid, or not used.

Luggage.—Every first-class passenger may take with
him, without extra payment, 120 lbs. ; every second-
class passenger, 100 lbs. of luggage. All other
luggage must be paid for, at half-parcel rates, ac-
cording to weight. The Government will not in any
case be liable for luggage taken with the passengers
into the carriages, but only when it is labelled and
placed in the luggage van.

Incivility.—The Government requests that any
instance of incivility or misconduct on the part of
the persons employed at the stations may be directly
reported to the General Manager.

N.B.—The Government appoint that the under-
mentioned sums be paid them for warehousing pas-
sengers' luggage, which has been, or which is about
to be, conveyed on their railway, viz.,—

For any period not exceeding three days, 2d. for
each package; and after three days, 1d. additional
for each package per day or part of a day.

And they hereby give notice that they will not be
answerable for loss or injury to any such package
beyond the value of £5, unless at the time of the
delivery of such package to them the true value and
nature thereof, and of the article or articles, or
property therein, shall have been declared by the
person delivering the same, and a sum at the rate of
1d. per pound sterling of the declared value be paid
for such package for each day or part of a day for
which the same shall be left, in addition to the before-
mentioned ordinary warehouse charges.

Every person depositing luggage will be furnished
with a receipt, stating the number and description of
the articles deposited, which receipt must be given up
to the railway servants upon their delivery of the
articles thereon described; and the Government give
notice that they will not deliver up luggage except
to persons producing the proper receipt for the
respective articles claimed, which delivery shall acquit
the Government from all further claims in respect
thereof.

The Government will not be responsible, under any
circumstances, for loss of, or injury to, any articles,
except deposited in the cloak-room.

Articles of merchandize, such as hampers or cases,
furniture, household stores, &c., will not be received
at the cloak-rooms; and such packages can only be
forwarded through the parcels or goods offices as
parcel or goods, and they must in all cases be fully
addressed.
