GENERAL—continued

Any package exceeding the maximum weight or measurement as specified
in this paragraph will be carted by the Department only at its option and under
special agreement which may provide, inter alia, for special rates of charge for
such cartage.

  1. Fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, and other goods which become, while still
    in the custody of the Department, offensive through putrefaction or other cause
    may be buried or otherwise disposed of by the Department without prejudice
    to the right of the Department to recover railage or other charges that may be
    payable thereon, and any such goods so dealt with shall be deemed to have
    been duly delivered to the consignee.

  2. The Department will not receive live poultry for carriage except in
    properly constructed coops, cases, or crates of a suitable size.

  3. Notices for the supply of trucks given by persons intending to consign goods
    or live-stock will be accepted for fulfilment conditionally only upon its being
    found convenient to the Department to supply the trucks upon the due date.
    The Department will not be responsible for any loss or damage arising through
    failure from any cause to have trucks available by any particular date or train.

  4. The Railway Department is not responsible for coach, steamer, or other
    services, and is not answerable for their fulfilment unless such services are
    managed and controlled by the Department.

  5. The Department will not be responsible for the delivery of goods by any
    particular train or at any particular time.

129. Charges on Ships' Goods.

  1. Ships' goods will be charged according to ships' bill of lading, or by
    weight or measurement, at the option of the Department. The charges shall
    not be computed on more than twice the actual weight of any consignment:
    Provided that in no case shall the charges be less than when computed on half
    the measurement.

  2. The term "ships' goods," for the purposes of this regulation, means and
    includes goods received direct from ships on to the railway, and, except where
    otherwise provided, refers to goods of Classes A, B, C, and D only.

  3. The following are Port Lines: Onehunga — Auckland, Breakwater — New
    Plymouth, Lyttelton — Christchurch, Port Chalmers — Dunedin, Bluff — Inver-
    cargill.

  4. In computing the railage charges on goods ex ship each bill of lading
    shown on the manifest is to be treated as covering a separate consignment. In
    the event of there being more than one entry on the manifest for the same
    consignee such entries should not be grouped but the charges shall be
    computed separately.
