RATING NATIVE LANDS.
BLOCKS NOT PARTITIONED
The anomallv in the Rating Act affecting the collection of rates on native lands which have not been partitioned was brought before the notice of the Native Minister last Friday by Mr P, Mora, clerk to the Waicomo County Council. It was pointed out that in the case of a nominated native owner being applied to for rates, ard being desirous of paying the whole amount due on a block, such owner had no security for the amounts paid one half of owners who were not nominated. It was suggested that owners desirous of paying the rates on such blocks should be empowered to register the amounts against the title and be placed in the same position as the local authority. The Minister said the matter merited attention, and expressed himself in favour of the Government being chargeable with the rates and taking a lien on the property as security. He promised that the matter would receive consideration.
