NATIVE RATES IN THE KAIKOHE TOWN AREA.
TOWN BOARD’S COMPROMISE. It will be remembered that recently the Commission set up with the object of solving the question of the payment of rates by natives through the medium of the consolidation of inteiests came to an agreement -with the Bay of Islands County Council in the matter, agreeing to pay in 1930 for the rates accruing on native land in the years 1928-29 and 1929-30, on the understanding that all arrears of native rates in the County would be written off up to that date. This means that the natives in some way will be called upon to pay approximately a quarter of their rates during the next two years, and after that they will have to pieet the full rate demand. The Kaikohe. Town Board has written to the Commission that it is willing to come to an arrangement in regard to the payment ot native rates similar to that made with the County. The native rates levied in the Town District for the last three years are as follow: 1927-28, £32b 17/2; 1926 27, £264; 1925-26, £316 16/6. Of this amount, £9Ol 13/8, only £6 5/- has been paid.
