LAND-TAX OBJECTIONS
COMMISSION TO HEAR ORAL EVIDENCE WILL TOUR COUNTRY Press Association WELLINGTON, Tuesday. It will be some weeks before the commission that is investigating cases of hardship arising out of the land super-tax will be able to determine its itinerary for taking oral evidence. At the outset of its inquiry, the commission, which consists of Messrs. W. G. Riddell, chairman, D. G. Clark and A. E. Fowler, requested taxpayers affected to forward their objections in writing, together with a statement of their financial position, supported by affidavits. About 580 taxpayers objected. The material forwarded by them is being considered by the commissioners. They will ultimately eliminate from the list the cases in which it is proposed, on the documentary evidence, to grant relief, and arrange for the hearing of oral evidence in the other cases. When the claims in the latter category ha.ve been sorted out, they will be tabulated into districts and an itinerary mapped out. As the commission is endeavouring to transact most of its business in Wellington, it is expected that at least three weeks will elapse before travelling begins..
