houses now being ereetyd were the resuli of the effort^ of the Labour Councillors. Whei rate- payerp received their demand notices they were allowed.a discount of l!j per.ceni if!tie rates were paid before a ccitain time', but property owners who rented th( houses to tenants and paid the rates were allo' ved 15 per cent di scount.
