Goods of the 4th class are carried in open trucks only; but if, at the request of the consignors, they are carried in box or covered trucks, they are charged at 3rd class rate unless the consignor himself supplies the tarpaulin, or pays for hire thereof at the rate of 2 frs. (1s. 7d.) each. Tarpaulins provided by Consignors are returned free of charge, except 5d. for booking fee. In the case of a sender requiring three trucks, he must give two full days’ notice to the railway of such requirement. Provided forwarding be not prevented by a glut of traffic, consignments forwarded under this tariff are due at the arriving station three full days after acceptance. Another full day is required if the goods have to be carted to “domicile.” Bulky goods weighing less than 200 kilos. per cubic metre, are charged 50 per cent. in addition to the ordinary rate, with a minimum of 200 kilos. per cubic metre, or half the tonnage capacity of the truck used; the exceptions to the rule being in favour of 1. Flax and hemp, raw, the maximum charge for which is 4 tons for a truck of 10 tons capacity. 2. Eggs, wool (except combed or carded), sheep skins, cotton and wool waste, oakum, flax and waste thereof pressed in bales or bundles, and live plants, which are charged at actual weights. Goods sent in full truck loads may be loaded and unloaded at option by Senders and Consignees respectively, but if loaded by Senders they _must_ be unloaded and carted by Consignees. Consignments under 5 tons and goods insured against damage or loss _must_ in all cases be loaded and unloaded by the Railway. The charge made by the Railway for loading and unloading is 10d. per ton of 1,000 kilos. If cranes or other loading appliances belonging to the Railway are used by Consignor or Consignee, a charge of 3d. per ton is made for their use. The Railways on demand will verify the weight of the consignment as far as the appliances of the station will admit, a charge of franc 0.05 per 100 kilos. being made if the difference in the declared weight does not exceed 2 per cent. and the original charges are maintained. TARIFF NO. 4 applies to the conveyance of Bullion, Bonds, Bank-notes, Title Deeds, &c., a false declaration of which, either in regard to weight, value, or nature of contents, is considered a fraud. Carriage is charged upon 1,000 francs (£40) in value, any fraction of which sum is charged as for 1,000 francs, but if the charge so calculated is lower than it would be under the conditions of Tariff No. 2 the latter will be charged. Additional services, viz., loading, unloading, booking and delivery to “domicile,” are included in the Tariff Rates. TARIFF NO. 5 applies to carriages forwarded by Passenger Train; but at the option of the Sender, Carriages, as also Vans, Carts, Omnibuses, Tramway Cars, Engines and Threshing Machines, can be sent by Goods Train at the 2nd Class rate of Tariff No. 3, the minimum weight being:--
