(c) When sold by a retailer carrying on business elsewhere than at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, or Dunedin the maximum price shall be the appropriate price fixed by paragraph (b) hereof increased by the appropriate proportion of the freight charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery from such one of the said places as is most convenient of access to his store; provided that where any cornsacks to which this paragraph applies are obtained by the retailer elsewhere than from such one of the said places that is most convenient of access to his store the increase authorized by this paragraph shall not exceed the appropriate proportion of the freight charges that would have been incurred by the retailer if the cornsacks had been obtained from that place and if delivery had been effected by the holder of a goods-service licence under the Transport Licensing Act, 1931, at authorized rates.

(2) The maximum prices fixed by the last preceding subclause are fixed as for delivery f.o.r. or f.o.b. as the case may require.

(3) Where any cornsacks are delivered by a retailer otherwise than f.o.r. or f.o.b. the price that may be charged by the retailer shall be the appropriate price in terms of the foregoing provisions of this clause increased by the amount of the freight charges incurred by him in effecting delivery and then reduced by the amount of those charges that would have been incurred by him if he had delivered the cornsacks f.o.r. or f.o.b. as aforesaid.

(4) Any freight charges imposed by a retailer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause shall be shown separately on the appropriate invoice.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

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

Dated at Wellington, this 6th day of March, 1951.

The Seal of the Price Tribunal was affixed hereto in the presence of—

[l.s.] P. B. MARSHALL, President.
