Here Is What the Rates Will Be UNDER UNIMPROVED VALUE RATING The Borough Council Rate Demand This Year is £42,465 Based on Sales Prices of Empty Sections during the past Four Years, we calculate that the rates published below will bring in under unimproved value a slightly LARGER amount. If the Government Valuation, the field work of which has just been completed, Teaches “about £1,000,000,” as stated publicly by Mr L. J. K. Familton, then reduce the under-mentioned estimates by 15 per cent. The Residential areas will pay less, but the business or inner area, with its very high ' site .values, and the nearly 400 empty sections, will bring in many thousands of pounds more. CHECK THIS YEAR’S RATE DEMAND WITH THESE FIGURES AND VOTE ACCORDINGLY. A WELL-KNOWN LAND AGENT CANNOT REMEMBER A QUARTER-ACRE SECTION BEING SOLD ON THE SOUTH HILL AT A HIGHER PRICE THAN £575. THIS WAS A ‘FREAK” PRICE. GOVERNMENT VALUATIONS WILL BE BASED ON 1912 LAND SALES PRICES LESS AN AVERAGE. OF 20 PER CENT., SO IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT ANY QUARTER-ACRE SECTION .ON THE SOUTH HILL WILL PAY MORE THAN £22 10s. VOTE FOR UNIMPROVED VALUE RATING PUT OAMARU IN THE LINE OF PROGRESS AT THE LAST CENSUS IT WAS PROVED THAT OAMARU’S POPULATION WAS PRACTICALLY STATIONARY These figures are announced with the authority, of the Executive of the Oamaru Rating on Unimproved Value Association.
