   said regulations shall be ascertained as follows:
   (a) Each box of butter containing a net weight of 56 lb
   2 oz of actual butter, excluding wrapping paper,
   shall, subject as hereinafter provided, be computed
   at 56 lb:
   (b) The weight of all butter in any such consignment shall
   be determined on the basis of the weight as ascertained by the grader of the several boxes selected by
   him for weighing and set out in the Grader's Certificate issued in respect of that consignment, and the
   boxes of butter so weighed shall be taken as fixing
   the average weight for the whole quantity of butter
   comprised in such certificate, overweights being
   averaged with underweights in each such certificate
   in relation to the prescribed weight of 56 lb 2 oz
   per box:
   (c) If the average weight ascertained as aforesaid of the
   butter comprised in any Grader’s Certificate be less
   than 56 lb 2 oz per box, such deficiency shall be
   deducted from a weight of 56 lb per box for the
   purpose of computing payment therefor:

(d) If the average weight ascertained as aforesaid of the
butter comprised in any Grader’s Certificate exceeds
the prescribed weight of 56 lb 2 oz per box, then the
amount of such excess shall not be taken into account
for the purpose of computing payment therefor.

8. In computing the weight of cheese for which payment is
   to be made by the Board, the weight of all cheese com-prised in any consignment submitted for grading under the
   said regulations shall be ascertained as follows:
   (a) The weight of all cheese in any such consignment shall
   be determined on the basis of the weight as ascer-tained by the grader of several crates of cheese
   selected by him for weighing and set out in the
   Grader’s Certificate issued in respect of that con-signment, and the crates of cheese so weighed shall
   be taken as fixing the average weight for the whole
   quantity of cheese comprised in such certificate, over-weights being averaged with underweights in relation
   to the respective packed weights as set out in such
   certificate:
   (b) If the average weight ascertained as aforesaid of the
   crates of cheese comprised in any Grader’s Certifi-cate be less than the average of the marked weights
   thereof as set out in such certificate, then payment
   shall be made for the cheese comprised in that certifi-cate on the basis of the average weight so ascer-tained:
   (c) If the average weight ascertained as aforesaid of the
   crates of cheese comprised in any Grader’s Certifi-cate exceeds the average of the marked weights
   thereof as set out in such certificate, then the amount
   of such excess shall not be taken into account for
   the purposes of computing payment therefor:
   (d) From the total weight computed as aforesaid of the
   cheese comprised in any Grader’s Certificate there
   shall be deducted by way of shrinkage allowance
   such amount in respect of any particular brand or
   class of cheese as the Board may from time to time
   determine.

9. The prices fixed by the Authority shall not be paid for
   any butter or cheese manufactured otherwise than in compliance with the said regulations.

10. The price to be paid by the Board for unwaxed
    cheese shall be the appropriate price payable for waxed cheese
    as hereinbefore provided reduced by such amount as corres-ponds with the reduced costs incurred in the manufacture of
    such unwaxed cheese and the allowance for loss in weight
    due to shrinkage. The reduction referred to in this paragraph
    shall be computed by the Board and the computation of the
    Board shall be final.

11. The price to be paid by the Board for any butter
    or cheese which, with the approval or at the request of the
    Board, is manufactured, prepared, or packed in special
    containers, or in special quantities or otherwise in any special
    manner, shall be the appropriate price payable for that butter
    or cheese as hereinbefore provided adjusted by such appro-priate addition or reduction as corresponds with the additional
    costs or the reduced costs incurred in such special manufacture, preparation, or packing. Any such approval or request
    of the Board may include a stipulation limiting the
    additional cost to be incurred and may dispense with the
    requirements of paragraphs 6, 7, and 8 hereof, and, in that
    event, payment shall be made for the actual net weight of
    the butter or cheese exported. The adjustment to prices re-ferred to in this paragraph shall be computed by the
    Board and the computation of the Board shall be final.
