Outstanding Fees Problem for Shire Council
The Under-Secretary of Local Government notes a Forsyth & Co. audit of the council accounts for the half year to 30 June 1954. The council hires a debt collector to recover arrears in December 1954, with totals in Tingha and other areas totaling £ over half the year’s levy. Tingha appoints Val Cox as official collector to improve payments and Cahill trains him in collection duties.
