UNPAID CITY RATES
CLAIM ON MORTGAGEES
AUCKLAND SUGGESTION
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, June 15. The Auckland City Council this afternoon decided to strike a rate ol 3s lid in the £, the same as last year. The Mayor in a statement referred to the amount of outstanding rates. He said ho was of the opinion that the first mortgagees must non be called upon to pay arrears of rates on their securities; otherwise an injustice would be done to those ratepayers who paid. Referring to the adverse factors he said the reduction in valuations amounted to £124,000, which on the basis of a 3s lid rate represented a revenue loss of £24,284. Relief works supervision cost £6BOO more than the estimate. Exchange this year would cost £35,500. The last two items represented 4id in the £l. The council was budgeting for an estimated debit balance of £126,238, and under tinconditions ruling it considered it was not unreasonable to carry that amount.
