Monday is the due date for payment, but ratepayers have until February 27 by which to meet their demands before the imposition of a 10 per cent, penalty. This year the council is collecting £1,126.215 for its general rate, special rate to meet interest charges and loan repayments, library rate and water rate; but it also has to collect another £724.853 for the Drainage Board. Transport Board. Fire Board and North Canterbury Catchment Board. In addition to the demand, reading “I hereby demand . . . ,” which is a statutory form, the council is sending out a pamphlet explaining the sources from which the city obtains its revenue and the way in which it is spent.
