Alterations to the Scale of Fares, Rates, and Charges in Force upon the New Zealand Government Railways.

IN pursuance of all powers and authorities enabling me under “The Public Works Act, 1894,” and any amendment thereof, and also of “The Government Railways Act, 1894,” I, Joseph George Ward, the Minister for Railways, do hereby make the following alterations in the scale of fares, rates, and charges in force on the New Zealand Government railways open for traffic, such alterations to come into force on the 17th day of September, 1900:—

PART I.—PASSENGERS: GENERAL FARES AND REGULATIONS.

Cancel Regulation 40.
Insert—

DELEGATES TO MEETINGS OF RELIGIOUS BODIES AND FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

  1. Delegates travelling to attend annual meetings of religious bodies and friendly societies may be granted first-class tickets, available for return for one month from date of issue, at holiday-excursion fares, specified in Regulation 10, on production of certificates in the following form:—

“I hereby certify that Rev. (Mr.) is a duly appointed delegate to (a) meeting, to be held at (b) from (c) to (c) , Secretary (a) .”

“I hereby certify that I am the delegate referred to above, and that I am proceeding from Station to Station for the purpose of attending the above meeting, and that I am entitled to a first-class ticket at holiday-excursion fare.

, Delegate to (a) .”

(a) Insert name of meeting. (b) Place of meeting. (c) Dates.

Tickets will be granted for seven days previous to and at any time during the meeting, provided the delegate to whom the ticket is issued produces the necessary certificate, and can reach his destination in time to take part in the business of the meeting.

Delegates who have attended the meeting are allowed to travel as many times as necessary during the sitting, but a fresh ticket must be taken out and paid for for each double journey, and a fresh certificate from the authorised officer must be presented for each ticket.

Written application, specifying dates on which delegates will travel, the stations between which the journeys will be made, and the name or names of persons who will sign certificates, must first be made by the secretary of the religious body or friendly society to the General Manager of the New Zealand Government Railways, Wellington, not less than two months before the date of meeting.

The department reserves to itself the right to decline any application.

As witness my hand, this eighth day of September, one thousand nine hundred.

J. G. WARD,
Minister for Railways.
