THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE
[No. 56

(3) Where delivery of any sugar is effected otherwise than over the counter or where the sale is not for cash, the maximum price of that sugar shall be the appropriate maximum price fixed by the foregoing provisions of this clause increased by ¼d. per pound, provided that where both such conditions apply the appropriate maximum price shall not be increased by more than ¼d. per pound.

(4) If in respect of any lot of sugar sold by a retail storekeeper the maximum price calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause is not an exact number of pence or halfpence, the maximum price of the lot shall be calculated to the nearest upward halfpenny.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES

  1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Order, and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal, on application by the company or by any distributor or by any retail storekeeper, may authorize special maximum prices in respect of any sugar to which this Order applies where for any reason extraordinary charges (transport or otherwise) are incurred by the company or by the distributor or by the retail storekeeper. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of sugar, or may relate generally to all sugar to which this Order applies sold by the company or by the distributor or by the retail storekeeper while the approval remains in force.

PROVISION WHEREBY CONTRACTS MAY BE MADE FOR SALE OF SUGAR AT PRICES EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM PRICES FIXED BY THIS ORDER

  1. Except with respect to sugar sold by a retail storekeeper, nothing contained in this Order shall be deemed to forbid the making or carrying out of a contract for the sale of any sugar to which this Order applies at a price exceeding the appropriate price fixed by this Order, provided such sale is made subject to the condition that if payment is made by prompt cash in accordance with the customary usage of the trade in the place of delivery the price shall be reduced to the appropriate price fixed by this Order.

PROVISION FOR ADDITIONAL CHARGES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN CONTAINERS

  1. (1) The several prices fixed by the foregoing provisions of this Order may be increased by an additional charge in respect of containers as follows :—

(a) For drums (5 cwt.) used in respect of invert sugar: By £3 per drum:

(b) For kegs (1¼ cwt.) used in respect of invert sugar: By £1 10s. per keg:

(c) For sacks (as distinct from 70 lb. bags) used in respect of raw sugar or boil-out sugar: By 1s. per sack.

(2) On the return to the company, at its Chelsea refinery, of any drums or kegs in respect of which an additional charge has been made in accordance with the last preceding subclause, a rebate of the amount of the additional charge shall be allowed by the company in respect of all such drums or kegs returned, in good order and condition, without cost to the company by way of freight or other charges. There shall be no rebate with respect to any additional charge made for sacks.
