Price Order No. 2121 (Cornsacks)

PURSUANT to the Control of Prices Act 1947, I, Clifford Ernest
Beard, pursuant to a delegation from the Secretary of Indus-
tries 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. 2121 and shall
   come into force on the 28th day of November 1969.

2. (1) Price Order No. 2093* 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, $3.90 per dozen; for 48-in. by 26½-in. cornsacks,
   $4.44 per dozen.
   (b) When sold "ex store" at Auckland, Napier, Wellington,
   Lyttelton, Timaru, Dunedin, or Bluff: For 46-in. by 23-in.
   cornsacks, $4.00 per dozen; for 48-in. by 26¼-in. cornsacks,
   $4.54 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 appro-
   riate 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 1962 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.
