A BOUNDEN DUTY

To the Editor of the "NortH-Cuina Day News"

Sm,—After reading your excellent editorial of a few days ago, it reminds me that on August 10, 1937, we invited the Council's attention, through the Revenue Department, that debit notes (Cemetery and subsidiary services) are seldom. received from their office until approximately a month later.

At the moment my August account has not been rendered and it would appear that the Council is not urgently in need of funds. otherwise the issue of debit notes would be expedited. Furthermore, no acknowledgment of my letter has been received to date.

We appreciate that occasionally some delay might be unavoidable, but we notice that the large Oil Companies have the necessary and efficient organizations oiled up at all times and debit notes arrive punctually. writing the above a reply has been received stating that arr; ments have been made to expedite the issue of debit notes. My debit for August has not yet arrived.
