PART V.-CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS.

All goods carried on the railways will be charged under the class specified in this
classification.
If any goods are required to be carried which are not mentioned in this classifica-
tion they shall be carried as Class A until the Railway shall determine in what
class they shall be charged.
If any package contains any of the goods specified in this list as "dangerous," the
word "dangerous" must be marked on the package, and full particulars of the contents
thereof must be specified on the consignment-note. The Railway is not bound to
carry any such goods.
Where goods are described as "packed," it is intended that they will only be
carried if properly packed in cases, casks, bags, crates, or otherwise, in the manner
in which such goods are usually packed in the trade, and that they will not be
carried loose or in bulk.
Except in the case of goods carried by measurement, the words "rate and a
quarter," "rate and a half," or "double rate," mean that the classified or local
rate for the conveyance of any article in the following classification to which any
such words apply shall be increased by "one-fourth," or by "one-half," or
"doubled," as the case may be. When any such goods (except dangerous goods)
are carried by measurement, such increase of the classified or local rate shall not
apply. The increased rate shall apply to dangerous goods in all cases. The words
"half rate," means that only half the classified or local rate is to be charged whether
the goods are carried by weight or measurement.
