  1. Pigs will be charged 7½ per cent. less than the classified rates for Class M or the small-lots rates specified in the last preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

  2. The Department may decline to extend the benefit of the reduction provided for in the foregoing paragraph to consignments of pigs consigned to any person or firm utilizing other means of transport than the railway for the carriage of bacon, hams, and other products manufactured from such pigs when the railway is available for the transport of these goods.

  3. Where mixed consignments are carried and charged at small-lots scale, the first animal rate will be charged on the highest rated animal in each truck and the respective rates as for additional animals on the remainder.

LIVE-STOCK IN CRATES.

  1. Live-stock properly secured in crates so as to prevent damage to other goods will be charged as follows:—
    Calves (not exceeding six months old), sheep, pigs, or goats, provided the gross weight of each crate does not exceed 3 cwt., will be charged Class C plus 50 per cent.; minimum charge except in the case of a box or crate not exceeding 56 lbs. gross weight, 2s. 9d. per crate from forwarding station to destination station. Where the gross weight of a crate exceeds 3 cwt., the charge will be computed at Class C, double rate; minimum charge, 4s. 2d. per crate, from forwarding station to destination station. The minimum charges provided herein will not be reduced by any local rate.

  2. Where the owner desires that live-stock in crates be forwarded in a live-stock wagon, the railage charges on the consignment must not be less than the appropriate charges for such live-stock had the same been forwarded loose in the wagon.
