THE NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 327

(f) Where local rates are in operation, and the sum of the charges computed separately at local rates or at local rates and classified rates (as the case may be) is lower than the amount of charges computed at the through classified rate, the lower charges as so computed shall apply.

The following examples are given by way of illustration but are not exhaustive:-

Let A, B, C, and D be stations in that order on a continuous line of railway with local rates in operation between A and B and between B and C respectively.

A consignment from X to Y would be charged at the cheaper of the following computations:-

(i) Local rate X to Z and classified rate Z to Y.

(ii) Through classified rate X to Y.
