On behalf of Senator Quirke I move the following amendment:—
In page 14, lines 35 and 36, to delete the words "but such charges shall be collected and recovered as part of the municipal rate."
Waterford City Management Bill, 1939—Committee and Final Stages.
Sections 1 to 25 inclusive agreed to.
SECTION 26.
The provisions of this Act abolishing certain rates shall not extend or apply to charges (commonly called contract water rates) made for the supply of water to particular hereditaments or tenements for the purposes other than domestic purposes or to the supply of water under special contract to any person not otherwise entitled to such supply, and such charges shall, in the construction of this Act, not be included in the expression "rates abolished by this Act," but such charges shall be collected and recovered as part of the municipal rate.
I have been asked by the officials of Waterford Corporation to have these words left out of the section. They think it would facilitate them in the collection of the water rate to have these words omitted.
Amendment put and agreed to.
Section 26, as amended, remaining sections, and the Title agreed to.
Bill reported with amendment.
Bill received for final consideration and passed.
