(4) If the Great Southern Railways become after the passing of this Act the occupier of any railway hereditament in Saorstát Eireann, not included at the passing of this Act in the undertaking of the Great Southern Railways, the Commissioner shall at the next quinquennial revision add such hereditament to such Great Southern Railways district as the Commissioner thinks fit and such hereditament shall thereupon be deemed for the purposes of these rules to be part of such district.
(5) The undertaking of a railway company (other than the Great Southern Railways) so far as such undertaking is carried on in Saorstát Eireann shall be a district for the purposes of these rules.
Total minimum valuation of a district.
3.—In this part of these rules the expression “total minimum valuation” when used in relation to a district means the sum of the minimum valuations of the non-running line hereditaments and of the minimum valuations of the running line hereditaments in such district.
Total valuations of Great Southern Railways districts.
4.—The Commissioner shall apportion the net annual value of the undertaking of the Great Southern Railways as a whole amongst the several Great Southern Railways districts in accordance with the following principles, that is to say:—
(a) no less sum than the total minimum valuation of any district shall be allocated to any such district;
(b) subject to the limitation imposed by paragraph (a) of this rule, the net annual value of the undertaking as a whole shall be allocated amongst such districts in such proportions as the Commissioner considers equitable having regard to the estimated traffic in each of such districts, respectively;
and the part of the net annual value of the said undertaking so allocated to any such district shall be deemed for the purposes of these rules to be the total valuation of such district.
Total valuation of other districts.
5.—Where a railway undertaking forms one district for the purposes of these rules, the net annual value of such undertaking as a whole shall for the purposes of these rules be the total valuation of such district.
Valuation of railway hereditaments where total valuation of a Great Southern Railway district is equal to total minimum valuation.
6.—If the total valuation of any Great Southern Railways district is equal to the total minimum valuation of such district, then the Commissioner shall apportion to every non-running-line hereditament in such district a part of such total valuation equal to the minimum valuation of such non-running line hereditament and shall apportion to every running line hereditament in such district a part of such total valuation equal to the minimum valuation of such running line hereditament.
Allocation of total valuation of a district between non-running line hereditaments and running line hereditaments.
7.—(1) The Commissioner shall allocate the total valuation of every district (other than a Great Southern Railways district where the total valuation of such district equals the total minimum valuation of such district) amongst the non-running line hereditaments and the running line hereditaments in such district in accordance with the following provisions, that is to say:—
(a) he shall allocate to such non-running line hereditaments a part of such total valuation equal to the sum of the minimum valuations of such non-running line hereditaments, and shall allocate to such running line hereditaments another part of such total valuation equal to the sum of the minimum valuations of such running line hereditaments;
(b) he shall then deal with the balance of such total valuation as follows, that is to say:—
(i) if the prescribed valuation of such non-running line hereditaments is less than or equal to the sum of the minimum valuations of such non-running line hereditaments, he shall allocate such balance to such running line hereditaments, or
(ii) if the prescribed valuation of such non-running line hereditaments is greater than the sum of the minimum valuations of such non-running line hereditaments, and such balance equals or is less than the difference between such prescribed valuation and such sum, then he shall allocate such balance to such non-running line hereditaments, or
(iii) if the prescribed valuation of such non-running line hereditaments is greater than the sum of the minimum valuations of such non-running line hereditaments, and such balance exceeds the difference between such prescribed valuation and such sum, he shall allocate such excess to the running line hereditaments and shall allocate the remainder of the balance to such non-running line hereditaments;
and the portions of the total valuation of such district so allocated to such non-running line hereditaments, and such running line hereditaments, respectively, shall for the purposes of these rules be deemed to be the total valuation of such non-running line hereditaments in such district and the total valuation of such running line hereditaments in such district, respectively.
(2) In this and the next succeeding rule the expression “1914 valuation” when used in relation to a non-running line hereditament means an amount equal to three times the minimum valuation of such hereditament.
