AN UNFAIR RESTRICTION
A POINT raised by one of the speakers at the Borough Council meeting with regard to the refusal of the Building Controller to grant a license to the owner of a preiim ises which was destroyed by fire, gives plenty of room for thought. The firm concerned must, if it desires to retain the section upon which the shoip was built, be prepared to pay out annually the sum of £150 in rates and rents, for no possible return. Had such a misfortune confronted half the businesses in Whakatane, they would have been forced into bankruptcy ere now. Surely in the event of a burnt out premises, it was never the intention of the Government to deprive the individual from any chance of ever re-estab-lishing himself, refusing him the right to build new business premises.
