The Council may refuse to receive or carry such goods. When received and carried, they will be subject to such regulations as may from time to time be publicly notified by the Manager.

28. Fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, poultry, and other perishable articles shall be carried only at the risk of the consignor; and, if not taken away within six hours after arrival at the station to which they are consigned, may be forthwith sold, by auction or otherwise, without notice to the sender or consignee; and payment or tender of the net proceeds of any such sale, after deduction of freight and expenses, shall be deemed to be equivalent to delivery.

29. All goods and luggage, having arrived at its destination, shall be removed by the consignees from the tramway within such periods as may be defined in the scale of rates; and, if not removed within such period, may be stored or kept in the wagons at the risk and expense of the consignees or owners, and will become subject to such charges as may from time to time be published in such scale. If on the arrival of goods forwarded by tramway the tramway sheds and stores shall, in the opinion of the tramway authorities, be full, and the consignees or owners do not take delivery within twelve working-hours, such goods may be stored in any private store or yard at the risk and expense of the owners. In ease of goods to be unloaded by the consignee, a charge will be made for the demurrage according to the scale of rates from time to time in force, for each truck not unloaded within a period named therein.

30. Should a consignor present a consignment note with goods understating the quantity or weight of such goods, he shall be liable to a charge of double the ordinary rate on the difference between the actual weight or measurement of the goods in question and that stated upon the consignment note, in addition to any penalty which may be inflicted under the 148th section of “The Public Works Act, 1882.”

31. All charges must be paid immediately on demand to the Stationmaster, or the person duly authorized by the Stationmaster to receive the same. Except where a special agreement is entered into, no goods will be delivered to the consignee until the payment of such charges shall have been made.

32. No consignor having consigned goods, and having obtained the proper receipt, shall be entitled to countermand the order, or to resume possession of the goods, without first cancelling the consignment note and returning to the tramway authorities the receipt before mentioned, and paying all charges incurred, after which, if delivery can be stopped by the Council, the goods may be returned.

33. If any person refuses or fails to pay the proper charges on any goods for which he is liable, for one month after demand of same by any person duly authorized to collect such charges, any such goods, or, in case such goods have been delivered, then any other goods on the premises of the tramway consigned to the same person, may, by order of the Manager, be sold; and the proceeds of such sale shall be applied first for the paying the said charges and the expenses of such sale, and the balance, if any, shall be paid over to the owner of the goods sold.

34. If any goods are left on the premises of the tramway, and the owner thereof, or the person liable for the charges thereon, is not known, the Manager may cause it to be publicly notified that such goods will be sold upon a day named in such notice, not less than one month from the publication thereof; and, if such goods are not removed and the charges thereon paid before such day, the said goods may be sold, and the balance of the proceeds of such sale, after paying the charges upon such goods, shall be paid into the Public Trust Office, and shall be paid by the Public Trustee to any person establishing a lawful claim thereto.

35. If the Chairman shall have paid any claim for goods for the time being lost on a tramway, and such goods are afterwards found, the claimant shall have the option of taking such goods upon refunding the amount so paid to him; but if he declines to do so such goods shall be sold, and the proceeds of such sale shall be paid into the Public Account.

36. Any person who shall commit a breach of any of the foregoing by-laws, or shall fail to do any act in any such by-law directed to be done by him, or shall do any act which by any such by-law is directed not to be done by him, shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten pounds for each such breach, or the failure to do or the doing of each such act as aforesaid respectively.

I certify that the foregoing is a correct copy of By-law No. 7 of the Manawatu County Council.
