No. 81

WHEAT GROWN IN THE NORTH ISLAND OF NEW ZEALAND

If in respect of any lot of wheat sold by a distributor the maximum price in relation to such lot calculated at the appropriate rate set out in the foregoing table is not an exact number of half-pence, the maximum price of the lot shall be computed to the next upward halfpenny.

(2) The maximum prices fixed in the table to subclause (1) hereof are fixed for sales made on the basis of sacks included and where sales are made on the basis of sacks extra the said prices shall be reduced by 5¼d. per bushel.

(3) Where delivery is effected by a distributor elsewhere than at one of the places mentioned in the table to subclause (1) hereof he may add to the appropriate price fixed by the foregoing provisions of this clause the actual freight charges incurred by him in obtaining delivery of the wheat to the point at which delivery is effected.

Retailers' Prices

12. The maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any wheat to which this order applies shall be the sum of the following amounts:

(a) The cost of the wheat to the retailer at the point at which he takes delivery but not more in any case than the cost that would have been incurred had the retailer purchased the wheat in lots of ½ ton or more.

(b) The amount of any transport charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery of the wheat into his store, being not more in any case than the charges that would have been incurred had delivery been effected at common carrier rates.

(c) An amount calculated at the rate per bushel as follows:

(i) For wheat sold in sack lots: 1s. 3d. per bushel.

(ii) For wheat sold in lots of ½ bushel or more but less than one sack: 2s. per bushel.

(iii) For wheat sold in lots of less than ½ bushel: 2s. 9d. per bushel.

13. Where the prices fixed by this order do not include the price of the sacks, an additional charge may be made for the sacks not exceeding:

For 46-in. by 23-in. sacks ... ... ... ... ... 2 0

For 41-in. by 23-in. sacks ... ... ... ... ... 2 0

For 29-in. by 18-in. (sugar bags) ... ... ... ... ... 0 9

14. Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal on application by any distributor or retailer may authorise special prices in respect of any wheat to which this order applies where special circumstances exist or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of wheat or may relate generally to all wheat to which this order applies, sold by the distributor or retailer while the approval remains in force.

1. This order may be cited as Price Order No. 1926 and shall come into force on the 20th day of December 1963.

2. (1) Price Order No. 1897* is hereby revoked.

(2) The revocation of the said 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. This order applies with respect to sales by way of retail of all cornsacks other than secondhand cornsacks sold in New Zealand.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF CORNSACKS TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

4. (1) The maximum retail price that may be charged or received for any cornsacks to which this order applies shall be determined as follows:

(a) When sold “ex wharf” at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff: For 46-in. by 23-in. cornsacks, 33s. per dozen; for 48-in. by 26½-in. cornsacks, 37s. 6d. per dozen.

(b) When sold “ex store” at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff: For 46-in. by 23-in. cornsacks, 34s. per dozen; for 48-in. by 26½-in. cornsacks, 38s. 6d. per dozen.

(c) When sold by a retailer carrying on business elsewhere than at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff, the maximum price shall be the appropriate price fixed by paragraph (b) hereof, increased by the appropriate proportion of the freight charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery from such one of the said places as is most convenient of access to his store; provided that, where any cornsacks to which this paragraph applies are obtained by the retailer elsewhere than from such one of the said places that is most convenient of access to his store, the increase authorised by this paragraph shall not exceed the appropriate proportion of the freight charges that would have been incurred by the retailer if the cornsacks had been obtained from that place and if delivery had been effected by the holder of a goods-service licence under the Transport Act 1949 at authorised rates.

(2) The maximum prices fixed by the last preceding sub-clause are fixed as for delivery f.o.r. or f.o.b. as the case may require.

(3) Where any cornsacks are delivered by a retailer otherwise than f.o.r. or f.o.b. the price that may be charged by the retailer shall be the appropriate price in terms of the foregoing provisions of this clause, increased by the amount of the freight charges incurred by him in effecting delivery and then reduced by the amount of those charges that would have been incurred by him if he had delivered the cornsacks f.o.r or f.o.b. as aforesaid.

(4) Any freight charges imposed by a retailer pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this clause shall be shown separately on the appropriate invoice.

PROVISION FOR SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

5. Notwithstanding anything 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 authorise special maximum prices for any cornsacks 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 clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of cornsacks or may relate generally to all cornsacks to which this order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.

Dated at Wellington this 18th day of December 1963.
