GROUP A, PUBLIC CONTROL.
This group may consist of the following sub-groups:
- Finance.
- Assessment.
- Law.
- Inspection.
Finance.
Into this department are paid, after making provision for landlord’s rent and sinking fund, all rate-rents; and out of it the necessary sums for the various departments are voted by the Central Council.
Assessment.
This department receives all applications from would-be tenants, and fixes the rate-rent to be paid—such rate-rents not, however, being fixed arbitrarily by the department, but upon the essential principle adopted by other Assessment Committees—the really determining factor being the rate-rent which an average tenant is found willing to pay.[14]
Law.
This department settles the terms and conditions under which leases shall be granted, and the nature of the covenants to be entered into by and with the Central Council.
