REGULATIONS FOR LAYING ON AND LEVYING THE ASSESSMENT
Authorised by the “Sheep Ordinance, 1856,” Section 12.
WHEREAS by Section 12 of the “Sheep Ordinance, 1856,” it is (amongst other things) enacted, that it shall be lawful for the Superintendent, from time to time, to appoint Assessors and Collectors of the Rate which is thereby authorised to be levied for the payment of the Salaries of the Sheep Inspectors, and to regulate the duties of the said Assessors and Collectors; and also the mode of making such Assessment, and of collecting and enforcing payment:
Therefore, I do hereby, in pursuance of the said powers, make and issue the following Regulations:—
-
The Provincial Treasurer shall be Assessor and Collector of the said Rate.
-
He shall ascertain, by the Reports of the Sheep Inspectors, the number of sheep upon each and every Run within the Province, and the amount to be raised by Assessment in terms of the Ordinance.
-
He shall thereupon determine the amount leviable from each Runholder, or Company of Runholders, and give them notice thereof through the Post Office, or otherwise, as to him shall appear practicable.
-
In such notice he shall intimate to the party that all objections to the Assessment must be lodged with him before a date to be specified in such notice, after which date the party shall be foreclosed from objecting to the Assessment upon any ground whatever; and the decision of the Assessor upon any objections lodged with him shall be final and conclusive.
-
In such notice also the party shall be required to make payment of the amount for which he is rated, within a time, and at a place, to be specified in such notice under the penalty of one-half more.
-
The Collector shall be and is hereby prohibited, after the time within which the Assessment is so required to be paid, from accepting payment thereof without payment also of the one-half more.
-
For all arrears, after the expiry of one month from the date at which the same should have been paid, the Collector, or a Deputy-Collector authorised by the Superintendent, shall sue for and recover the same.
