By-laws under the Government Railways Act, 1908.

IN exercise and pursuance of the power and authority
conferred by the Government Railways Act, 1908, and
of all other powers and authorities in that behalf, I, Joseph
Gordon Coates, Minister of Railways, do hereby amend the
by-laws made under the said Act on the 29th day of May,
1909, by making the following alterations therein:

PART I.-GENERAL.

By adding to by-law No. 3, after the words "periodical
tickets shall," the words "subject to any arrangement for
the time being in operation on the railway regarding the
reservation of seats in trains."
By omitting from by-law No. 5 the words "and every
passenger or person shall show such ticket when required by
any railway official to do so for any purpose."
By adding the following by-law:
"5A. Every person when travelling on the railway shall
either exhibit (whenever required by an officer of the railway
to do so) a ticket available for the journey then being made
by such person or pay the fare, together with the booking
fee (if any), payable for such journey. Any person infringing
or not observing this by-law shall be liable to the penalty
prescribed by by-law No. 62, and (in case of failure by
such person to quit the train on which he is travelling, as
aforesaid at the first station at which the train shall be
stopped after such person has been requested so to do by any
railway officer) may be removed from such train by or under
the direction of any railway officer."
By omitting from by-law No. 13 the words "having previously provided himself with a ticket," and substituting the
words "being in possession of a ticket available for the
journey then being commenced."
By adding the following by-laws:-
"20A. No person shall throw or cause to be thrown at or
from any carriage or other vehicle upon the railway, or on
to any railway or any part thereof, any glass or stone or any
article or material the throwing of which might cause injury
to any person, or any filth, dirt, rubbish, or any other matter
of a similar nature.
"20B. No person shall place his foot or feet upon any
seat or part of a seat in any carriage or vehicle on the
railway."
"38A. Any person driving any vehicle or riding or driving
any animal shall, if and when required by any officer of the
railway stationed on any level crossing on the railway for the
purpose of controlling traffic thereover, comply with the
direction of such officer by stopping before entering on to
such crossing for so long a time as such officer shall deem
necessary in order to permit of the passage of trains or to
prevent accidents. The exhibition of a green flag or the
holding up of his hand by day or the exhibition of a green
light by night shall be deemed a sufficient notice that the
officer requires such driver or rider to stop.

VEHICLES PLYING FOR HIRE AT RAILWAY-STATIONS
By omitting subparagraph (b) of paragraph (6) of by-law
No. 43, and substituting the following:-
"(b.) The holder thereof shall not leave his vehicle except
as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of fulfilling
an engagement of his vehicle previously accepted by him,
nor, having left his vehicle for such purpose, shall he tout
for passengers or solicit business while away from his
vehicle."
ADMISSION TO RAILWAY-PLATFORMS.
By adding to paragraph (3) of by-law No. 44 the following
words: "but the absence of such notice shall not affect the
application of this by-law to any particular railway-platform
at any particular time, or affect the liability of any person
under it, if such railway-platform at such time in fact
purports to be closed to persons who, if the said notice
were exhibited, would not be entitled to be upon such
platform at such time."
And, in further pursuance of the said powers and authorities, I, the said Joseph Gordon Coates, do hereby revoke
by-law No. 72 made under the said Act on the 8th day of
December, 1913, and the by-law made under the said Act on
the 19th day of July, 1910, as amended on the 9th day of
September, 1921.
Given under my hand this 29th day of October, 1923.
