LIVING WITHIN ITS MEANS
HAPPY POSITION OP BOROUGH. “You have lived within your in- j come,” stated the Mayor (Mr. F. J. v Naßian) to councillors at last night’s meeting of the Council, when referring to the statement of accounts presented v; by the Town Clerk (Mr. J. R. Hardle). “And there Is every indication that on March 31," he added, "that we will be in credit. It is pleasing to be able to record this position which is only obtained as a result of loyal sendees rendered by heads of departments and those co-operating with them.” Speaking of the rates, the Mayor stated that £3OOO was outstanding out of a total of £71,000, which was about the average amount outstanding in previous years. It might be necessary at next meeting to give the Town Clerk the usual authority to proceed -j----against those who bad not paid and not answered letters. When anyone unable to pay wrote in and said so, every consideration would be given J them, i The Mayor pointed out that all the accounts were in credit except the abattoir account which showed a debit of £3564 traceable to the poor tallow market. Other, principal accounts were in credit as follows:—Opera House, £1467; waterworks, £3772; lighting, £7231; transit, £1439.
