1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 1455, and shall come into force on the 23rd day of March 1953.
2. (1) Price Order No. 1435* 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. 5d. per pound.
   (b) For lemons sold elsewhere in the North Island: At the rate of 1s. 6d. per pound.

(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.
