LAND TAXATION
AMERICAN ECONOMIST'S VISIT STUDY OF UNIMPROVED RATING (Special to Daily Times) AUCKLAND, Sept. 23. A study of taxation, particularly land taxation, in New Zealand is to be made by Dr J. H. Gilbert, dean of the faculty of social science at Oregon University, United States, who arrived from Sydney by the Monterey. Dr Gilbert has already spent a month on similar study in Australia, and will remain in New Zealand for about two and a-half months. Most of his time in the Dominion will be spent at Wellington. Dr Gilberi said his special field was economics, and taxation systems were of particular interest to him. He intended to devote considerable attention in New Zealand to the country's unusual method of taxing on the unimproved value of land rather than on the land and improvements. Dr Gilbert is accompanied by his wife. They will leave for Wellington to-morrow.
