RATING ON UNIMPROVED VALUES.
Per Press Association. Hastings, April 25. Mr P. J. O’Regan addressed a meeting of 300 ratepayers last night on rating on unimproved values. He referred to Hawke’s Bay as the finest province in New Zealand, vet it had oulj nine people to the square mile, while Taranaki, a hush province, had’ thirteen. This scandalous state of affairs, he said, was caused" by large estates and the people were driven back in the country, while the latter served by a railway and teeming with potentialities was practically depopulated. This could not be suffered to con - tiuue and would not continue if the land monopoly was taxed out of existence. Ho appealed for unimrpoved rating because it conformed with the immutable principles of justice. The speaker was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.
