LOCAL BODY CHARGES NOW EXEMPT FROM PRICE CONTROL ACT
P.A. WELLINGTON, October 6. The Price Tribunal announced today that notice would be gazetted as soon as possible - exempting rates and charges fixed by local authorities, with a certain specified exception, from the operations of the Control of Prices Act, 1947. The Price Tribunal will continue to exercise jurisdiction over the prices fixed by a local authority for commodities such as gas, electricity, and milk, and, where a local body - engages in wholesale or retail trade, such as the sale of gas or of electrical appliances, the conditions covering such trade will remain the same as for ordinary traders. Water rates, whether calculated as a flat charge or as a charge for quantities actually used; sanitation rates, harbour fees, cemetery charges, hall hire, and similar charges will, therefore, be determined in future by the local authority' without reference to the Price Tribunal.
