CITY RATES.
Payments Equal to Last Year. Payments of the citj' rates up to Saturday were proportionately nearly the same as at the corresponding date last year. The levy this year is £353,506 11s lid and the amount paid up to Saturday was £62,339 16s 6d. Last year the levy was £331,432, and the payments to the corresponding date totalled £60,547 11s Bd.
The increase in the levy this year is accounted for by the imposition for the first time of tramway rates. Ratepayers still have a month left in which to pay their rates before the 10 per cent penalty is imposed, and a large proportion of them usually wait until the last few days before discharging their obligations.
