Price Order No. 1322 (New Zealand Lemons Other than Meyer Lemons)

PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, the Price Tribunal, acting with the authority of the Minister of Industries and Commerce, hereby makes the following Price Order:—

1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 1322, and shall come into force on the 17th day of December 1951.

2. (1) Price Order No. 1312* is hereby revoked.

(2) The revocation of the said Price Order shall not affect the liability of any person for any offence in relation thereto committed before the coming into force of this Order.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. (1) This Order applies with respect to all New Zealand grown lemons (other than Meyer lemons) sold by way of retail.

(2) The provisions of this Order as to maximum retail prices shall apply notwithstanding that any such lemons are sold otherwise than by weight.

MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES

4. (1) Subject to the provisions of this clause, the maximum retail price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any lemons to which this Order applies shall be computed as follows:—

(a) For lemons sold at any place in the North Island, north of a straight line drawn from Tirua Point on the West Coast to Young Nick’s Head on the East Coast: At the rate of 1s. 1d. per pound.

(b) For lemons sold elsewhere in the North Island: At the rate of 1s. 2d. per pound.

(c) For lemons sold in the South Island: At the rate of 1s. 3d. per pound.

(2) If in respect of any lot of lemons sold by a retailer the maximum 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 next upward halfpenny.

(3) 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 any retailer, may authorize special maximum prices in respect of any lemons to which this Order applies where special circumstances exist, or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this sub-clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of lemons or may relate generally to all lemons to which this Order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.

DUTY IMPOSED ON RETAILERS

5. Every retailer who offers or exposes any such lemons for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the lemons to which it relates as to be obviously descriptive thereof a ticket, placard, or label on which shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the retail price per pound of the lemons.

Dated at Wellington, this 12th day of December 1951.

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

[L.S.] G. LAURENCE, Presiding Member.
