I move:—
Immediately before Section 5 to insert a new section 5 as follows:—
Any ratepayer in a county may, during the hours that the office of the county council is open, on payment of a fee of one shilling, inspect any books or returns of the county council, showing the rates which have been paid in the county.
It often happens in a county that there is a large amount of unpaid rates, and I think it is only reasonable that any ratepayer, especially a ratepayer who had paid his rates, should have an opportunity of knowing who has or who has not paid his rates.
