Fixing the Maximum Wholesale and Retail Prices of Rice in New Zealand.

LIVERPOOL, Governor-General.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government Buildings at Wellington, this eighth day of May, 1919.

Present:

THE HONOURABLE SIR JAMES ALLEN, K.C.B., PRESIDING IN COUNCIL.

WHEREAS by the Regulation of Trade and Commerce Act, 1914, and its amendments, the Governor-General is empowered to fix the maximum price in New Zealand of any class of goods:

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance of the authority so conferred upon him, and acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of that Dominion, doth hereby fix and determine the maximum price in New Zealand of rice in accordance with the provisions of the Schedule hereto; and doth declare that this Order in Council shall come into operation on the day following the publication thereof in the Gazette.

SCHEDULE.

THE maximum price of rice when sold wholesale ex store upon the usual trade terms established at the date of this Order in Council shall be thirty shillings per hundred-weight.
When sold wholesale otherwise than as aforesaid, then the maximum price thereof shall be a price equivalent as regards the seller to the maximum price above mentioned.
The maximum retail price of rice shall be fourpence per pound.
In any case in which by reason of the remoteness of the premises of the retailer from the source of supply, or by reason of any other special circumstances, the Board of Trade is satisfied that the aforesaid maximum retail price may reasonably be increased by any retailer, the Board may authorize that retailer to exceed the said maximum price by such amount as the Board thinks reasonable, and any such authority may be at any time withdrawn by the Board. So long as any such authority remains in force the price so authorized by the Board shall in respect of that retailer be deemed to be substituted for the maximum price as fixed by clause 3 hereof.

F. W. FURBY,
Acting Clerk of the Executive Council.

By Authority: MARCUS F. MARKS, Government Printer, Wellington.
