(4.) Class E.—Grain and other Agricultural Produce.

Minimum quantity, 1½ tons. Any less quantity will be charged as such minimum,
or at rate and a half Class E, not exceeding the rate for Class D.

At Auckland, Onehunga, Spit, Wellington, Foxton, Wanganui, New Plymouth
Breakwater, Waitara, Greymouth, Westport, Nelson, Nelson Port, Picton, Blen-
heim, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Breakwater, Port Chalmers, Dun-
edin, 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; minimum charge, 3d.

At all private stores or sidings the loading or unloading shall be done by the owners.
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. of barley, or 40lb. of oats count as 1 bushel.
The number of bags and the quantity they contain must be declared upon the
consignment notes.

(5.) Class F.—Hay, Straw, Chaff, Turnips, &c.

The Railway Department may require all loading and unloading to be done by
the owner. For each loading or unloading done by the department 5s. per truck
will be charged. When loading by consignors is done negligently, and so as to
entail reloading on the road, £1 per truck may be charged for reloading.

Beet, carrots, mangolds, pumpkins, turnips, pressed chaff, pressed hay, and
pressed straw in quantities under a truck-load will be charged as a truck, or as
Class E. Other goods of Class F under a truck-load will be charged as a truck, or as
Class E, rate and a half. A truck-load must not exceed 6 tons in weight; any
truck loaded with more than this quantity will be charged rate and a half.

Double-bogie trucks will be charged double the classified or local rates.
