A settler who had not paid his rates wrote to Patea County Council stating that he was not aware that the rates were payable earlier this year, and in protesting against the 10 per cent penalty he said: "Times are hard enough now without the council rubbing it in.” Councillor Helton said they should not be hard on some of these ratepayers who had not yet received their wool cheques. Conditions were extraordinary, and a lot of people had a job to pay their rates without the 10 per cent. One man had to put his breeding ewes in the sale to pay the rates, and these only realised 12s each, and he lost the lambs as well. The chairman said one settler told him the council was lucky to get the rates without the penalty. The chairman said he replied that the settler, who was only it new resident in the county,

was lucky in having such good roads to travel on. It was decided to write to the Auditor-General asking whether the council could refund the 10 per cent penalty.
