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. 1426, and shall
   come into force on the lst day of December 1952.

2. (1) Price Order No. 1419* 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 ls. 5d. per pound.
   (b) For lemons sold elsewhere in the North Island: At the
   rate of ls. 6d. per pound.
   (c) For lemons sold in the South Island : At the rate of ls. 7d.

   (2) If in respect of any lot of lemons sold by a retailer the

   visions 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 lemon.
