A landowner, not far from Feilding, has been waiting for some months to see the course events would follow as regards taxing improvements. His intention was to spend .£IO,OOO in buildings and other extensive works. This would have meant about .£4OOO circulated in wages. As, however, the Government have decided to postpone this exemption for another year and then allow it, if the circumstances of the colony permit, this district is depriyed in the meantime of the presence of a man whose ordinary expenditure would exceed £2000 a year, the better half of which would go in wages to laboring men. No doubt there are many other similar instances of forced economy for fear of spoliation under the name of taxation.
