Some little concern is felt amongst the business people in respect to the chances of money becoming dearer (says the “Auckland Star”). The advent of the Government as a borrower on the local market at oil per cent, is a disturbing factor. It makes the probability of local bodies obtaining money at ol per cent, rather problematical. As a matter of fact, it is believed that several local bodies are (iodine it very difficult to borrow at the rates fixed hv tlie Government, and it is alleged that some of these borrowers have approached the Government for permission to offer debentures at a discount* while retaining the nominal rates of interest. If the debentures are sold at a discount, tlie buyer gets a better return, and it is thought that if local bodies were granted such a privilege they would more readily obtain Hie monev they require, which is no doubt true, hut tlie Government is a borrower, and it is not to the inteiest of the Government to facilitate borrowing h.v local bodies. The difficulties of the situation may compel the local bodies to curtail their demands for loans, and this would do no harm.
