PUBLICITY RATE
F.
BOORD,
(To the Editor). \ Sir, — This is the period of 1932 when the burdens of Rotorua ratepayers are being considered by the borough council, reductions being de- ' sirable. I am hoping they will take into consideration that most unfair taxation that has been foisted on to the holders of land, namely the publicity rate. No other town has been known to strilcc such a childish tax and the result has been nil. The originators of this movement went out of business owing to their own extravagant advertising. Boom measures for boom times, but Rotorua progressed faster before the publicity rate had been struek and I feel confident that if removed for two years the residents will spend the money saved to greater advantage than it has been lately, and wonder why sueh a rate ever existed. — I am, etc.
Rotorua, 19/4/32. Ratepayer.
