WAIROA COUNTY DEFAULT
INTEREST OVERDUE
[FEB PBESS ASSOCIATION.]
WAIROA, March 9
As the result of the Wairoa. County Council being behind in the payment of some £7,300 to several State lenders, the Council has received a letter from the Minister of Internal Affairs, advising that unless interest payments are made, legislation will be brought, down authorising the appointment of a Commissioner to control the county. The Chairman, referring to the letter, at a. meeting of the Council, stated that they had advised the Department that the Council would not be able to pay on the due date, but would consider the whole matter of payment by March 31. The County Clerk stated that much of: the trouble was due to Crown tenants defaulting in their rates. It was decided to take strong exception to the attitude of the Minister, and' to point out that much of the trouble had been caused by Crown tenants defaulting in their rate payments. A list of such defaulters will be forwarded to the Department.
