ARREARS OF CITY RATES.
The city Mayor's recent report on tlie council's financial position stated that arrears of rates for the one year, 1930 to 1931) amounted to the huge sum of £56.420. Aβ a ratepayer who manages to keep his rates paid up, I consider that the ratepayers who pay up —many of them under great difficulties —are entitled to some information regarding the non-payers. How many of them are there, and are they people in a large way of business or ordinary ratepayers? Also what steps are taken to compel payment? If these arrears were paid up, or even £50,000 of the amount, the rates could be reduced, not by a paltry farthing in the £1, but by a substantial sum. A PAID-UP RATEPAYER.
