PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, I, Geoffrey Harold Datson, pursuant to a delegation from the Secretary of Industries and Commerce acting under a delegation from the Price Tribunal, hereby make the following price order:

1. This order may be cited as Price Order No. 2074 and shall come into force on the 5th day of April 1968.

2. (1) Price Order No. 2035* 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.

3. References in this order to metropolitan areas are references to the metropolitan areas described in the Schedule hereto.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. This order applies with respect to all Island oranges sold by way of retail in New Zealand.

MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES

5. (1) Where, in this price order, prices are expressed both in decimal currency and in existing currency, the prices expressed in decimal currency shall be the prices applicable unless, because of difficulties relating to machine conversion, a trader continues to deal during the transitional period exclusively or principally in existing currency, in which case the prices applicable shall be those expressed in existing currency.

(2) In this clause the terms “decimal currency”, “existing currency”, and “transitional period” shall have the same meaning as in the Decimal Currency Act 1964.

6. (1) Subject to the provisions of this clause, the maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any Island oranges shall be—

(a) When sold by a retailer carrying on business in any of the metropolitan areas of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, or Dunedin, or in any of the Cities or Boroughs of Whangarei, Takapuna, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Gisborne, New Plymouth, Stratford, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Napier, Hastings, Blenheim, Nelson, Greymouth, Timaru, Westport, Oamaru, Balclutha, Gore, or Invercargill—

15 cents or 1s. 6d. per pound.

(b) When sold by a retailer carrying on business elsewhere—

1s. 6½d. per pound, or

1 lb, 16 cents;

2 lb, 31 cents;

3 lb, 47 cents;

4 lb, 62 cents.

Fractions of a pound shall be calculated at 16 cents per pound. Quantities in excess of 4 lb shall be calculated at the rate of 15½ cents per pound.

(2) If in respect of any lot of oranges 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 or cents, the maximum price of the lot may be computed to the next upward halfpenny, or to the nearest whole cent.

SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

7. Subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the Tribunal, on application by any retailer, may authorise special prices in respect of any Island oranges 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 oranges or may relate generally to all Island oranges to which this order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.

DUTY IMPOSED ON RETAILERS

8. Every retailer who offers or exposes any Island oranges for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent position in such proximity to the oranges 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 following particulars:

(a) The retail price per pound of the oranges;

(b) The word “Island”.
