CITY RATE ARREARS
I also would like to ask a question aiboufc overdue rates: Why are many relief workers and otters allowed" to work from one to two days weekly until outstanding rates are clear? By the method of working off the city treasury coffers are not increased by one penny piece. Surely tliis is a -most imbusinesslike and unfair way of collecting rates. There are many people who although working full time yet are receiving little more than relief wages. These people are expected to pay up. It would bo interesting to know what would happen if all the ratepayers who are up against it asked for the special treatment. Perhaps "Inquirer" or the Mayor could answer this question. ALSO INQUIRER. ,
