KIWITEA WANTS.

'in. settlers in the Kiwitea are sufi'.-r---11 o- from the en ing- evil of aheioe,'s:n, on I complain bitterly of the 'u'na'ions of land for ratios? purposes icing iix"d on no given sc;-le. nod nn.de iv un almost h.qdiaz.ir-l mnnner. I'liev quote ins -iuees of where pr - <>- .c.tics sitiK'.rpd far hack are rated nfrv per cent higher than property d:\V.ited oo a g<'o I metalled road; v d iust.uiees are not unknown where rotes- are ol towed to go unpaid altogether by owners who are well able to iifT.ird them. While we recognise the justice of the complaints made, we, would remind our friends in Kiwi:, a tint for the.-c matters, :a,d oilier, of a siiniiar namre, they will find a rem-dy in their own lojn is when the Kiwi'va Fond Districts, now created by tbe Government, are in wo king order. We would also su_.-ge.-t to them the advTibleuess of putting such in n only on the several Hoards as \\ il be, from position and ability, hest ah'.e to carry out the purpose, for which they wll he elected. As to absentees, they can easily be got at under the Act aleau to come in force, uud complaints of non-pa y ment of rates, by rateable properties will then become impossible. We will sljo.'tly be in a position to publish a rcMirae oi the proposed new Act. wh'eh will be of much interest, io our readers.
