PENALTY ON KATES
TEN PER CENT. FROM TODAY
Today is the las^t day, for the' majority of ratepayers/for the avoidance of the 10 per cent, penalty for late payment of city rates, but payment for : warded- by post tonight, and received by the City Treasurer tomorrow morning will be accounted as payment made today and therefore free of the penalty. In some cases where the rate demands were later in being sent out from tho treasurer's office the penalty will not accrue till after tomorrow. The rush to get in in time is fairly brisk this afternoon, .but there is no sign of the queues which have lined up on past last-payment days. However, the position is considered by the City Treasurer (Mr. C. Collins) to be promising and it is probable, he says, that wlien the full takings today and the amount received through the" post tomorrow morning are counted up the1 position should be at least as satisfactory as on the corresponding day last year.
Mr. B. G. Palmer, of W'averley, was admitted as a "barrister and solicitor by the Chief Justice (Sir Michael Myers) at the Supreme Court today, on the application of Mr. H; J, V. James.
