    hereto shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference

    of Oamaru.

Wholesalers' Prices

    business or residence is situate within the Borough of Oamaru,
    shall be the appropriate maximum price specified in the Second
    Schedule hereto.
    (2) With respect to sales made by a licensed fish-wholesaler to

    maximum prices fixed in the Second Schedule hereto may be
    increased as follows:—

(a) By an amount not exceeding ½d. per pound where the
wholesaler prepares and packs the fish for transport;
and
(b) By the amount of the actual freight charges incurred by the
wholesaler in effecting delivery to the retailer or to any
other person, but not exceeding in any case the charges
that would have been incurred by him if delivery had
been effected by a common carrier at current freight
rates.

  1. Except with the prior consent of the Tribunal, no additional
    charge for any fish shall be made by a fish-wholesaler on account

    in obtaining delivery of any fish to his premises, the several maximum
    prices fixed in the Third Schedule hereto may be increased by a
    proportionate part of those charges.
    (4) Where the maximum retail prices for fish that may be
    charged by any retailer whose place of business is situate outside

    prices shall not be exceeded within the area to which the other
    Order applies.

    price calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions
    of this clause is not an exact number of pence or half-pence, the
    maximum price of the lot shall be computed to the nearest upward
    halfpenny.

    additional charge for any fish shall be made by a fish-retailer on
    account of any preparation other than that described or referred
    to in the Third Schedule hereto.

  3. Every retailer who offers or exposes for sale in any shop
    any fish to which this Order applies shall keep in a prominent
