1. A limited number of private sidings only will be granted at stations, and such sidings only will be granted as the Railway Department, after full consideration, finds can conveniently and safely be allowed.

2. No siding access will be permitted without formal application is made, and without the consent of the Minister for Public Works, in writing, is first obtained thereto; and no consideration will be accorded to applicants upon the plea that they have incurred expense in anticipation of obtaining such consent.

3. The applicant shall pay to the Minister the whole cost of constructing the siding and its connections.

(a.) For any siding access granted on to the railway, not being at a railway station, £100;

(b.) For any siding access at either of the chief stations—Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Invercargill, Bluff—£50;

(c.) For any siding access at any other railway station, £25.

5. Upon the expiration of the term for which any existing rights have been granted by the Minister for Public Works, the grantees may renew their tenure under these regulations at the option of the Minister, but, failing the Minister's approval thereto, the siding will be removed by the Minister.

6. Such persons as have heretofore been using siding access without the formal authorization of the Minister shall have three months' notice given them by or on behalf of the Minister to terminate the use of such access, or to make application in the form prescribed hereinafter, and the Minister may, at his option, grant the application; but, failing the Minister's approval thereto, or in event of the person heretofore using the siding neglecting to apply within the prescribed time, the siding will be removed by the Minister.

7. Every application shall be made upon the printed form, which shall be accompanied by a cheque for the proper premium.

8. The form of application may be obtained from the officers of the Working Railways Department.
