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 Government Railways Act, 1908, I, Arthur Mielziner Myers, Minister of 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 and after the 1st day of July, 1912.

PART I.—PASSENGERS.

VOLUNTEER TICKETS.

13. Upon written order from the officer commanding the district, tickets will be issued to Volunteers in uniform without charge.

Volunteers in uniform travelling to drills, encampments, and rifle contests, when not provided with orders for tickets, will be charged half the return fare for either the single or double journey.

OFFICIAL SEASON TICKETS.

38. Official Season Tickets, for use by Government officers travelling on public service only, will be issued at half the rate for ordinary season tickets. Application for these tickets must be made to the General Manager.

SPECIAL TRAINS FOR GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS.

48. Except where otherwise specified, a charge of 5s. per mile will be made for all special trains of one large or two small carriages required by any Government Department to convey passengers; 2s. 6d. per mile for each extra vehicle. A charge of 5s. per mile will be made for each special train required by the Postal Department for conveyance of mails, irrespective of the number of vehicles. A charge of 5s. per mile will be made for each special train required by the Defence Department for conveyance of passengers, provided that the charge made shall in no case be less than the value of the fares for the total number of passengers carried, computed at the rates of 2d. per mile first class and 1d. per mile second class for the actual distance the passengers travel. In computing fares for return tickets the mileage is to be counted one way only. Special trains for which two engines are required will be charged double rate.

The minimum charge for a special train required by any Government Department will be £3. When engine is ordered and not used, half the minimum charge will be made for the first three hours, after which 10s. will be charged for each additional hour that engine is kept in steam waiting orders.

Special trains will be permitted to wait five hours at the station of destination, after which period half special-train rates will be charged for the return journey until seven hours’ detention from time of arrival; after which full special-train rates will be charged for the return journey.

The distance which a train has to run empty to commence a service will be charged at the rate of 2s. 6d. per mile.

Special trains will be run only at the option of the Railway Department. The Department reserves to itself the right to forward any of its ordinary traffic by the special train, when such train is not loaded to its full capacity, but no reduction of the special-train rates shall be made on account of the train being so utilized by the Railway Department.

Upon written order from authorized officers, tickets will be issued to Defence Department officers and employees travelling on the public service and to officers and members of the Territorial Force and Senior Cadets travelling for training purposes, &c.
