FREE SEARCHES.
MAY BE REFUSED. LOCAL BODIES' PRIVILEGE. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday. Notification from the Minister of Stamp Duties that the question of withdrawing from local bodies the privilege of free searches in the Land Transfer Office was under consideration, was received by the Qhristohurch Drainage Board last evening. The Minister's letter, dealing with payments for searches, stated that there was no specific authority for allowing searches for other purposes than the recovery of rates and town planning to be made without the prescribed fee, although it was recognised that the searches entailed in bringing up to, date the board's sewer area maps should be made without charge.
