WHEREAS by section two of the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, it is enacted that at any time when His Majesty is at war with any foreign prince or State the Governor may, by Order in Council gazetted, fix and determine the maximum price in New Zealand of any class of goods: And whereas it is expedient to exercise in respect of butter the powers so conferred upon the Governor in Council:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the authority so conferred upon him by the said Act, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of that Dominion, doth hereby fix and determine the maximum price of butter in New Zealand in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule hereto; and doth hereby, with the like advice and consent, declare that this Order in Council shall come into operation on the fourteenth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen.

SCHEDULE.

  1. THE maximum wholesale price of butter as sold by the manufacturer and delivered in boxes at the factory on the usual trade terms as established at the date of this Order in Council shall be one hundred and forty-nine shillings and fourpence per hundredweight.

  2. In the case of butter sold by the manufacturer otherwise than for delivery at the factory in boxes on the usual trade terms aforesaid, the maximum wholesale price thereof shall be a price equivalent, as regards the seller, to the maximum price above mentioned.

  3. In the case of butter sold otherwise than by the manufacturer, and whether wholesale or retail, the maximum price thereof shall be the maximum price mentioned in clause 1 of this Schedule with such increase only as is in accordance with the established custom of the trade as existing at the date of this Order in Council with respect to the relation between the price of butter so sold and the wholesale price of butter at the factory.
