Mr Nihikane of the Japan Shipowners Association discusses shipping subsidies at Orientwal Society meeting. He argues the current 1,013,000 pound budget, with 40,000 for Formosa navigation, inflates ship tonnage and speeds to chase subsidies, while real maritime development lags behind other nations. He urges law reform to curb wasteful subsidies and promote true trade growth.

Payment of Rates Sparks Local Government Debate
Alderman G Dygan of Woollahra questions how notices under the Local Government Act should reach both owners and occupiers of rateable land. He argues for notices to all liable parties to ensure fair appeals against valuations, noting many lessees and occupiers may not be aware of adjustments. He cites sections of the Act and contends that private agreements cannot shield parties from rate liability, urging clearer notice and proportionate charges amid widespread disputes.
