(5.) CLASS F.—HAY, TURNIPS, FIREWOOD, ETC.

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 cranage is charged for or provided,
half-rates only will be charged for each loading or
unloading done by the department.

Broken glass, lime gas refuse, lime (native produce),
limestone, street, stable, and farmyard manures, scrap-
iron, old iron rails for scrap, green flax, tussock-grass,
will be charged as Class Q if cheaper than Class F. The
minimum quantity of such goods to be charged as Class Q
will be 4 tons; any less quantity will be charged as such
minimum, or as Class E (actual weight), single rate.
Beet, carrots, mangolds, pumpkins, turnips, firewood,
mining props, split house-blocks, posts and rails, 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 four-wheel-truck load must not exceed 6 tons in
weight.

Except where otherwise specified, not more than 140
bags of chaff shall be loaded on any four-wheel truck.
Hydraulic pressed chaff in bales or bundles may be
loaded up to 6 tons per four-wheel truck, provided the
gauge limit is not exceeded.

The load of a double-bogie truck, containing firewood,
mining props, split house-blocks, posts and rails, lime
gas refuse, lime (native produce), limestone, street, stable,
and farmyard manures, scrap-iron, old iron rails for
scrap, broken glass, must not exceed 16 tons in weight;
