Aldridge, in addressing the Devonport Borough Council meeting lasu evening. lie suggested that the plan might be considered shortly. Mr. Aid - ridge was giving a resume of the business transacted at the recent Municipal Association Conference in Invercargill, when the incidence of rating systems, particularly of unimproveu rating where rural lands were included in boroughs, was thoroughly examined.
