CHIMNEY REPAIRS
AMOUNTS OWING TO MASTERTON COUNTY COUNCIL. STERNER COLLECTION METHOD PROPOSED. “Our staff has enough to do without worrying about chimney accounts,” observed Councillor H. H. Mawley at yesterday afternoon’s meeting of the Masterton County Council, when the Clerk, Mr J. C. D. Mackley, said that the Earthquake Damage Emergency Regulations provided that people who had the money but would not pay their accounts could be sued in court as a debt due to a local authority. “Unless the accounts are finalised soon, we will have to adopt sterner measures to get the money,” observed Mr R. E. Gordon Lee, chairman. It was stated that fifty per cent of earthquake chimney repair accounts rendered by the County had been paid. Less the Government subsidy, a net charge of £2,896 was made to ratepayers in the county, of which amount £1490 had been paid.
