Amusement Tax.
TO BE PAID BY BOWLING, CRICKET AND OTHER CLUBS. The Amusement Tax Commissioner has announced in Wellington that the Amusement Tax is now due from every individual who pays his subscription to cricket, football, hockey, tennis, bowling or croquet cltibs. The Commissioner intends to press for the tax. It is one for the individual, lie says, not the club; but the records of the club will be made available to the Commissioner to allow him to exercise his duty as ho sees it. The amount that will be collected throughout New Zealand vnder this new and somewhat unexpected heading will be heavy. Take, for example, the bowling community of the Dominion, which runs into five The subscription to the best clubs is about £3 3s per annum, which will mean an amusement tax of 6s (for everyone who pays such a subscription), and correspondingly less when the annual subscription is less. There will be those who will protest, find those who will consider it a fair penalty to bear in the interest of their country.
