2. (1) Price Orders Nos. 1338* and 1353† are hereby revoked. (2) The revocation of the said Price Orders 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 lemons imported into New Zealand from Sicily (known as Messina lemons), Australia, or from any of the Pacific Islands and 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 Is. 4d. per pound.
   (b) For lemons sold elsewhere in the North Island: At the rate of Is. 5d. per pound.
   (c) For lemons sold in the South Island: At the rate of Is. 6d. per pound in the case of Australian and Pacific Island lemons and at the rate of 2s. per pound in the case of Messina lemons.
   (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 subclause 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 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 word “Messina”, “Australian”, or “Island”, as the case may be, and the retail price per pound of the lemons.
