(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, Blenheim, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Breakwater, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Invercargill, and Bluff, 6d. per ton will be charged in addition to the classified rates, except when consigned from or to private sidings at those stations, or except local rates otherwise provide ; but such addition will not be made when goods are charged at Class E (actual weight) single rate under small-lots scale regulations 2 and 3, or at rate and a half, Class E.
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 reasonable 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. When goods are charged at Class E (actual weight) single rate under small-lots scale regulations 2 and 3, or at rate and a half, Class E, no charge for loading or unloading will be made.
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, Turnips, Firewood, &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 the charge will be, per four-wheel truck, 5s. When loading by consignors is done negligently, and so as to entail reloading on the road, £1 per truck may be charged for reloading. When crannage is charged for or provided, half-rates only will be charged for each loading or unloading done by the Department.
