In computing the charges on small lots of Classes A, B, C, and D, consigned to
Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill, the classified rates will be increased as
follows:-
To Christchurch by ... 1 5 per ton.
To Dunedin by ... 1 1 "
To Invercargill by ... 1 4 "

Class E.—Agricultural Produce.
Minimum quantity, 2 tons. Any less quantity will be charged as such minimum,
or as Class D.

At Auckland, Onehunga, Spit, Wellington, Foxton, Wanganui, Waitara, Grey-
mouth, Westport, Nelson Port, Picton, Blenheim, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Timaru,
Oamaru, Breakwater, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Invercargill, and the Bluff, 6d. per
ton will be charged in addition to the classified rates, except at private sidings at
those stations, or except local rates otherwise provide.

At all other stations, when the loading or unloading is done by the owners, or
when loaded by owners into sheds, owing to trucks not being available after reason-
able notice is given, the classified rates only will be charged. When the loading or
unloading is done by the Railway Department, 6d. per ton will be charged for each
operation.

At all private stores or sidings the loading or unloading shall be done by the
owners.

Where goods of Class E are consigned to Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill,
the classified rates will be increased as follows, viz. :-
To Christchurch by ... 1 5 per ton.
To Dunedin " ... 1 1 "
To Invercargill " ... 1 4 "

But such increase will not be made when the goods are consigned to private
sidings at these stations.

The following method of computing the tonnage of grain will be followed :-
Wheat—10 bags of 4 bushels to the ton.
Barley—12 bags of 4 bushels to the ton.
Oats—14 bags of 4 bushels to the ton.
Flour, Bran, and Pollard—2,200lb. to the ton.
Oats (crushed) and other grain by actual weight.
60lb of Wheat, or 50lb Barley, or 40lb of Oats, count as 1 bushel.

When grain is in bags holding more than 240lb each, the full contents of such
bags of grain will be charged rate and a quarter. The consignment note should
state the number of such bags, failing which the charge will be made on the whole
consignment. The tonnage on which such charge is made will be computed in the
manner prescribed above.

The number of bags and the quantity they contain must be declared upon the
consignment notes.
