CHAP. ( S ) Where Milling is Performed at a Station off the Direct Route, Prior to 

 XII. ' Export. 



6. Forwarding stations will invoice the traffic at the export rate plus ios. 

 per short truck (20s. per bogie vehicle), paid or to pay, as the case may be, 

 direct to the port from which shipment will be effected. 



7. When all charges are to be paid at the milling centre, sending station 

 will invoice consignment to milling point, showing charges referred to in 

 paragraph 6 as a " paid on " and add charges at Rate 15 for total mileage 

 travelled off direct route to port, plus sidings charges where leviable, for both 

 inward and outward services at milling station. 



8. When charges are to be collected at port of shipment, entry to milling 

 station must show the local charges as " Paid," and forwarding station will 

 obtain credit by including recharge on entry to port. 



9. No higher charge is, however, made than the local rate for haulage 

 from the station of origin to the station at which the grain is milled, plus the 

 export rate from the latter point in addition to the other charges referred to in 

 paragraphs 6, 7, and 12. 



10. In addition to this, it will be necessary for the forwarding station to 

 render a memo, invoice to the intermediate station at which the grain is to be 

 milled, giving full particulars and reference to entry to port. 



11. When the manufactured product is forwarded to the port the inter- 

 mediate station will issue a memo, invoice to cover the consignment, giving 

 particulars and reference to charges entry from original forwarding station. 

 (This reference will be obtainable from latter station's memo, invoice to the 

 intermediate station.) 



12. Should any charges be incurred at the intermediate station in respect of 

 off-loading, cartage, or any other services, the charges should be raised at the 

 intermediate station, clearance being effected by recharge on the destination 

 station except when payment is made at the milling station. 



(C) Where Milling is Performed at a Station on an Alternative Route, 

 Prior to Export. 



13. Forwarding stations will observe the instructions laid down in para- 

 graphs 2 to 5. 



14. When alternative routes are available traffic must, generally speaking, 

 be forwarded via the shorter, but should the consignor elect to have the consign- 

 ment milled in transit at a station on a longer route the difference in the through 

 mileage between the longer and shorter routes must be charged for at local rates 

 in addition to the charges referred to in paragraph 13. 



General Lnstruetious. 



15. Grain ground into meal for cattle-feeding purposes loses no weight, 

 therefore coarse meal must be reconsigned from the mill in quantities equal to 

 the weight of the grain received, but in the case of maize ground into meal for 

 human consumption, approximately S per cent of the maize is lost in milling, 

 and, therefore, for such meal, shippers cannot be called upon to export more than 

 92 per cent of the weight of maize received, but of course railage charges must 

 be collected on the quantity of maize invoiced by forwarding station. 



16. When the manufactured product is reconsigned from the mill, which 

 must take place within twenty-eight days of the inwards arrival of the grain, 

 consignors should be called upon to furnish a certificate, in writing, in the 

 following form : —
