When two or more wagons are forwarded as one consignment, the minimum quantities must be complied with in respect of each wagon separately.

  1. Small Lots—Except where otherwise specified, the charge for any quantity less than the wagon minimum prescribed, will be based on such minimum or on the actual quantity—subject to a minimum of 100 superficial feet—at the following scale, whichever is cheaper:

*Where the charges are computed at the foregoing scale the minimum charge will be $1.17.

For each additional 15 miles or fraction thereof beyond 450 miles, 19c per 100 sup ft will be added.

Charges at the foregoing scale will be increased by 50 percent in the case of hardwood timber in sizes classified at Class K plus 50 percent (vide section 68).

  1. Small Lots of timber of under 100 sup ft may be charged on actual weight at Class C if cheaper than the charge for timber in small lots.

  2. Less Than Minimum Loads—(a) Where a consignment of timber is loaded on a bogie wagon and the quantity is less than the prescribed minimum load for the class of wagon used, the charges will be based on such minimum or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity of timber at the small lots scale plus the charge for one check wagon.

(b) Where a consignment of timber loaded on a bogie wagon also requires a four-wheeled check wagon, charges will be based on the minimum loads for one bogie and one check wagon or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity at the small lots scale, plus the charge for two check wagons.

  1. (a) Any deficiency in quantity required to make up the prescribed minimum referred to in paragraphs 2 or 4 is to be charged at Class K single rate.

(b) Separate consignments of timber loaded in the same wagon from one consignor to various consignees at the same destination station may be grouped for the purpose of calculating the minimum load as provided in paragraph 1 hereof. Where the total quantity so loaded is less than the prescribed minimum the deficiency in measurement will be shared proportionately by each consignment.

  1. In Computing the Charges for Timber, superficial measurements of 5 ft and over in any consignment will be calculated to the next 10 ft and will be charged pro rata of the prescribed rate for 100 sup ft. Superficial measurements of 4 ft and under in any consignment will be omitted.

  2. Timber Shorts—i.e., pieces not exceeding 6 ft in length—will be charged on measurement at Class K rate or vide paragraph 2 hereof, except where timber shorts for the purposes specified in section 68 are classified at tonnage rates.

Where the actual weight of timber shorts (chargeable on weight) and shooks cannot be determined by weighing, the weight may be computed on the basis of 450 sup ft to the ton.

  1. Computation of Measurement—Except where otherwise specified, odd lengths of 6 in. and upwards will be counted as a foot in measuring the length of timber; less than 6 in. will be omitted.

  2. Unless otherwise specified, in computing the sizes of sawn timber, whether dressed or undressed, fractional parts less than ⅛ in. in width or thickness will be reckoned as ⅛ in.
