Should the residents get what! they are clamouring for, which is! unlikely, they would have to bea the pay-roll ax well, in which case the total burden would be some Yen 650,000, assessed on 6,500 households, or Yen 100 (£10) per: household," perhaps the _stiffest individual' barden for citizenship in all the world. And all this does not take into consideration the matter of fresh enterprises which at present consume some Yen 1,000,000 annually and which the residents in these railway areas are not in a position to meet.
That there should be any eagerness at all for autonomous control of these areas is remarkable, to say the least, for some years ago the residents' themselves found it too costly to enjoy municipal privileges and clamoured for the S.MLR's asistanee in removing kho burden from their shoulders.
