Power to apportion liability for maintenance of drainage works. 51 & 52 Vict. c. 39.
|
11. Where any land is liable to pay a proportion of a maintenance rate under the Drainage Acts or any other Act relating to drainage of land in Ireland, the Board of Works shall have the like power of apportioning that liability between different portions of the land as they have of apportioning a rentcharge under section six of the Public Works Loans Act, 1888, save that the consent of the Treasury shall not be required to any such apportionment, and any such portion of land shall not be liable to the maintenance rate further than is determined by the certificate of the Board of Works setting forth such apportionment.
|
|
| |
The persons appointed to collect any maintenance rate shall have for the collection thereof all powers possessed by the collectors of county cess for the collection of that cess, provided that an occupier of land paying rent for the same shall not be liable by virtue of the provisions of this section with respect to the collection of such rate to pay any larger amount than is for the time being due from him in respect of the rent of the land, and may deduct any amount so paid from any rent payable by him.
