A REMARKABLE RECORD
READERS will have noted that the rate collection in thi Whakatane Borough last year amounted to 98 per cent of the total anticipated revenue. This remarkable achievement is the more singular, in that it was accomplished during a war period when wide demands were made upon the community. With only 2 per cent outstanding we feel that the town can congratulate itself and that in spite of the DeputyMayor's rebuke, with reference to the surplus in hand, that all will be the same in fifty years time when burgesses will look back with envy upon the period when the town practically met its full commitment in. spite of a world war.
