THE PROPERTY TAX.
A meeting of the residents of this district was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday night, to consider what action should be taken in reference to the proposed property tax. Mr Vaughan was voted to the chair, and stated the object fqr which the meeting was convened. Mr Vaughan thought that all goods and personal property should be exempt, and that land and buildings only should Ije assessed. Ho also thought that an income tax would fit the shoulders of all those who would otherwise escape taxation. Mr J. Barclay agreed with the proposals in the property tax as now altered, and many to whom he had spoken were also of the same opinion. He would move the following resolution :—“ That this meeting endorses the action of the Government re the property tax as it stands at present.” A considerable discussion followed the resolution, which was eventually carried by a majority of one. A vote of thanks to the chairman closed the meeting.
