Dover Express 28th August 1942.
£53 Rates demand on a licensee.
As a result of the Robinson judgement, Frederick Thomas Day, formerly
licensee of the "Chequers," Hoo and now a Corporal in the RAF police, was
summoned at Chatham Police Court on Monday for £53 10 101/2d arrears of
rates from April 1st 1939 to August 15th 1941. The Rating Officer (Mr. S. Ring) said that, by the Robinson judgement, the
assessments of licensed houses were greatly increased and those arrears
were retrospective to 1st April 1939. This additional demand had been
made on Day since he had left the "Chequers" with everything apparently
settled up. Replying to the Clerk (Mr. E. F. Barret), Mr. Ring said
that the house belonged to Messrs. Style & Winch Ltd. The Bench adjourned the case for 28 days to see what the brewers would
do in the matter. |
