SYDNEY IMPROVEMENTS.
Proposed Administrative
Changes.
(Received 10.2 a.m.)
SYDNEY, this day.
The Lord Mayor of Sydney has made* an important offer to the Government which may lead to changes in municipal administration. The basis of the offer is that the municipality shall have the right of collecting a city land tax, and that in return the Council shall relieve the Government of "The Rocks" area, an old and delapidated district of Sydney, which was resumed during the plague outbreak., and other services involving an outlay of £50,0G0 a year. The City Council would widen certain streets and generally beautify the city.
