STORAGE.

18. Every person, firm, or company whose goods are
    stored in any shed upon any wharf shall pay, before receipt
    of such goods, and, when called upon by the Council of
    Wharfinger so to do, storage for such goods as hereinafter
    mentioned, that is to say—
    For the first twelve hours: Free.
    After the first twelve hours: Double the rates as set
    out in the foregoing schedule of wharfage charges shall
    be payable for every week or part of a week that
    goods remain in the sheds.

19. No person shall remove goods from any wharf, pier,
    jetty, or landing-place without having previously paid the
    dues payable thereon.

20. In the absence of the consignee the Wharfinger shall
    take delivery of all goods landed on the wharf, and shall
    place such goods in the wharf-shed, and shall keep same
    until payment to the Council of the expenses of such re-
    moval, wharfage, and storage dues as in by-laws Nos. 17
    and 18 hereof provided for, together with any other charges
    due to the Council thereupon; and in default of payment
    may, in the manner and in the time provided in section 195
    of the Harbours Act, 1923, sell the same, and may exercise
    on behalf of the Council all the powers contained in the said
    section 195; provided, however, that goods as mentioned in
    by-laws Nos. 25 and 27 shall not be stored in any wharf-shed.

21. If any goods, which in the opinion of the Wharfinger
    it is not expedient to put in the wharf-shed, are stored on
    the wharf, then the owner of such goods shall pay storage
    for same at the same rate as mentioned in by-law No. 18.

22. If any cargo remains on any wharf for a longer period
    than forty-eight hours, or where such cargo in any way
    hinders the loading or unloading of any vessel, or is an im-
    pediment to the approaches, the Wharfinger may have such
    cargo removed at the expense of the shipper, and in the case
    of inward cargo at the expense of the consignee or owner;
    provided that if any timber remains on any wharf for a
    longer period than twelve hours the Wharfinger or other
    person in charge may have such timber removed at the
    expense of the shipper, consignee, or owner, as the case
    may be.

23. No timber, coal, produce, or cargo of any description
    shall be shipped or unshipped except at such time and places
    and in such order or mode as may be directed and deemed
    expedient by the Wharfinger for the proper working of any
    boat.

24. No person shall deposit any ballast, coal, coke, patent
    or other fuel on any wharf or in any shed without special
    permission of the Wharfinger.

25. No goods or articles of any description which, in the
    opinion of the Wharfinger, are likely to occasion damage to
    any wharf or shed, or anything for the time being on such
    wharf or in such shed, shall be discharged or landed on any
    such wharf or placed in any such shed.

26. No person shall place or leave upon any wharf or in
    any shed any vegetable or animal matter or goods which are
    in a state of decay or putrefaction. Any goods which are,
    in the opinion of the Wharfinger, unfit to remain on the
    wharf, or harmful to other goods stored on the wharf or in
    any shed, may be removed from the wharf or any shed by
    the Wharfinger, and the consignee or owner shall, upon
    demand, repay to the Council the cost of such removal, and
    also in addition the amount of any damage done by such
    goods to any other goods on such wharf or in such shed.

27. All explosives, kerosene, and all goods of a dangerous
    or inflammable character shall be removed by the owner,
    agent, or consignee immediately on being landed, and such
    owner, agent, or consignee failing to do so will be held respon-
    sible for any damage or loss that may accrue from any acci-
    dent arising therefrom, in addition to the penalty provided
    for breach of these regulations, and the Council shall not be
    responsible for any damage or loss which may accrue to such
    goods.
