Municipality being empowered to fix the fees payable

in respect of licences etc., issued by it. Apart

from activities on these lines however, it is clearly

open to objection for the Legislature to delegate to

the Municipality any authority to levy, or fix rate

of, taxes. If you prefer to amend your despatch

before it is published so as to avoid any .

misunderstanding on this point, in which case I would

make no comment in my reply, I should be glad if you

would let me know what amendments you propose.
