RATES-BUT NO POWER
PROTEST TO PRIME MINISTER
Press Association
INVERCARGILL, To-daj'
A deputation from the nonre ticulatcd areas in the Southland Power Board’s district waited on Sir Joseph Ward seeking relief from the payment of rates for something they could never hope to get. The Prime Minister admitted the position was grossly unjust, but the trouble was bow to solve it. Personally he thought they should be helped and he would examine the whole position.
He thought that in time the board would be able to pay its way and to meet the whole of its requirements. In the meantime he would try to find some solution.
