RATES FROM GOVERNMENT
COUNCIL HEAVY LOSER Press Association. WELLINGTON. To-day. The Mayor of Wellington, Mr. G. A. Troup, in dealing with the question of rates, said that the city was losing from £25,000 to £40,000 a year by having to pay for the upkeep of streets round Government property, on which no rates were paid. All they got was £4OO per annum on account of some properties which were run for trosiness purposes. There was far more Government property in Wellington than in other towns, and after the new valuation was completed, the council would take the question up, and demand some readjustment.
