Via Scotland!
The strange travels of two cheques representing the payment of rates for 1947, were related at the monthly meeting of the West Harbour Borough Council last night. The cheques, which were from ratepayers in the Rothesay ward of the borough, had been put in envelopes addressed to the “ Town Clerk, Rothesay.” There happens to be a borough of Rothesay.—but it is not in NeAV Zealand; it is in Scotland, in the region of GlasgoAV. The toivn clerk of the Royal Burgh of Rothesay eventually received the cheques and, having had a previous experience of the mistake, returned the cheques to the West Harbour Borough Council. “They are still valid,” said the town clerk, Mr P. R. Buckland. He added that as yet he had received no inquiries Avhy receipts had not been issued.
