Thames Rates.
BOROUGH PAYMENTS. PROGRESSIVE RECOVERY SHOWN With nine months of the financial year past, as at December 31, the Thames borough rate collection figures, supplied by the Borough Commissioner, Mr. C. L. Grange, show that satisfactory payments continue to be made under the instalment system. For the nine months the amount collected was £7950, or 51.3 per cent, of the total rate struck. For the some period in 1934 £9682 was collected,, or 47.3 per cent. The difference in the totals and percentages is accounted for by the fact that the rate for 1934-35 was 2/6, as compared with 1/6 in the £ for the current year.
Arrears of rates have also been well maintained for the period, £5298 being paid, as compared with £5153 for 1934.
