§ MR. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, as the landlord is liable for half the sanitary rate, he can state the amount saved to the landlord of Carrick-on-Shannon by the action 452 of the Local Government Board in altering, against the protests of the rural district council, the area of charge for the Carrick-on-Shannon waterworks from the townlands of Townparks to the entire rural district.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe landlord, or landlords, of Carrick-on-Shannon obtain relief in precisely the same way as the occupiers of the town, by the extension of the area of chargeability to the rural district. The exact sum charged on the owners and occupiers in the district outside cannot be ascertained without communication with the Board of Works as to the outstanding liabilities, but if the hon. Member desires it I will have the calculation prepared and sent to him privately. I am considering the whole question of the areas of charge for sanitary expenses, particularly with regard to works carried out for the benefit of small market towns and other centres of population, which are not, however, urban districts under the law.
