Public Notice.

PURSUANT to subsection (4) of section 23 of “The Christchurch Tramways District Act, 1902,” public notice is hereby given that at a special meeting of the Christchurch Tramway Board held on 20th April, 1905, the following by-law was made by special order, and confirmed at a special meeting held on 18th May, 1905.

TRAMWAY BY-LAW, 1905.

In pursuance of the powers and authorities vested in the Christchurch Tramway Board by “The Tramways Act, 1894,” “The Christchurch Tramways District Act, 1902,” and “The Christchurch Tramways District Act Amendment Act, 1903,” and of all and each and every other power and authority thereunto or in that behalf enabling it, the said Christchurch Tramway Board doth make and ordain this by-law for regulating and ordering the traffic on all tramways within the Christchurch Tramways District.

1. The short title of this by-law shall be “The Christchurch Tramway By-law, 1905.”

2. This by-law shall come into force on the 2nd day of June, 1905.

3. In the interpretation of this by-law the following words shall have the meanings hereby assigned to them respectively, unless there is something in the subject-matter or in the context inconsistent with such meaning :—

“Board” means the Christchurch Tramway Board.

“Conductor” means any conductor, inspector, or other duly authorised officer, employee, servant, or person for the time being in charge of any car.

“Car” includes every car, carriage, steam-engine, motor, trailer, or other vehicle in use for the purpose of tramway traction on any tramway within the Christchurch Tramways District.

“District” means the Christchurch Tramways District.

“Fare” means the maximum fare, toll, or charge which under the Christchurch Electric Tramway Order or any amendment thereof may be demanded and taken by the Board, or such lesser fare, toll, or charge (if any) which may from time to time have been fixed by the Board in respect of the Board’s tramways; and, in the case of a tramway not being operated by the Board, any fare, toll, or charge which may be authorised under an Order in Council having reference to such last-mentioned tramway.

Words importing the singular number shall also include the plural number, and words importing males shall also include females.

4. Every passenger shall, on demand, pay to the conductor the fare proper for such passenger’s journey, and if he shall fail to do so he may be removed from the car either by or under the direction of the conductor. All fares must be paid either in cash or in discount coupons purchased from the Board.

5. Any person who shall travel by and leave any carriage without first having in manner aforesaid paid his fare to the conductor shall be deemed to have committed a breach of this by-law.

6. Each passenger on so paying his fare will be furnished with a ticket indicating the fare paid and the journey for which the fare is so paid, and every such passenger shall, on demand, produce to the conductor or any inspector or other duly authorised officer of the tramway such ticket for inspection, and if the passenger shall fail or refuse so to produce the ticket he shall be deemed not to have paid his fare.

7. No ticket that is defaced or illegible will be accepted, and the holder thereof shall be regarded as not having paid his fare.

8. Every passenger shall enter and depart from a car on the side nearest the footpath, and no one shall enter or leave or attempt to enter or leave any car whilst in motion.

9. No passenger or other person not being a conductor shall travel on the steps, platform, or handrail of any car, or otherwise than on a seat provided for passengers, and no person shall put his feet on any seat, cushion, or handrail of any car.

10. When every seat contained in a car is occupied, no additional person shall enter, mount, or remain on or upon any such car if warned by the conductor not to do so.

11. No person shall smoke or have any lighted pipe, cigarette, or cigar upon any car except in the smoking compartment thereof, or in such part (if any) of the car as may have been from time to time set apart for the purpose, and no person shall expectorate on any car or any part thereof.

12. No one shall on any car swear, use obscene or offensive language, shout, sing, or otherwise interfere with the comfort of any passenger, or commit any nuisance.

13. No one without express permission from the Board shall play or perform on any musical instrument on any car.

14. No person in a state of intoxication shall enter or mount upon any car, and any intoxicated person found in or upon a car shall immediately be removed from the car by or under the direction of the conductor.

15. No person shall wilfully damage, cut, tear, or soil any insulator, or any part of the electrical installation of the Board, or any car, or the cushions or linings of any car, or deface any number-plate printed, or other notice on any car, and no person shall break or scratch any window of any car; and any person acting in contravention to this clause shall, in addition to the liability for a breach of this by-law, be liable to pay the amount of such damage.
