The truth of the old adage that it is imposible to piea.se everybody was exemplified at the meeting of the Westland County Council last evening. While correspo..denco was being read from defaulting ratepayers diversity of opinion was shown, Several ratopayers applauded the action of the Council in reducing the rate for the post year by thirty-three and cue-third per cent, while another correspondent suggested the advisableness of an even grc'.-.tor reduction, and a third reply suggested that Councillors had made a grievous mistake in making any reduction whatever, as he contended that the rate shoiud have been left at the higher levels, assigning as a reason that if this had been done the ratepayers able and willing to pay would have given the council sufficient funds to carry on without calling upon him and others in like circumstances for any rates at all.
At the meeting of the Westland County Council last evening, the list of defaulting ratepayers was again considered. Demands have been issued in accordance with the Council’s instructions, and, in every instance where a ratepayer in default had replied in courteous terms, promising to pay within a reasonable time, the council extended every indulgence. Tn those cases, however, where no replies were received, and the Council’s letters ignored, and, in adition, whore tlie explanations were not considered satisfactory, definite instructions have been issued to the council’s solicitor to proceed to judgment against the defaulters personally and seek a charge upon the land. It is not generally known that, save in certain cirCumsjt'ticol, ‘w'hefb mortgages have been given' to the Crown, the charge for rates take pi'ceclenco over registerd mortgages.
