NATIVE RATES.
QUESTION OF COLLECTION. , The question of tile collection of Native rate 3 was before the Taranaki County Council on Monday. The Bay of Islands County Court j ; l asked support of a resolution urging the Prime Minister to have introduced during the. coming session legislation either (a) giving local bodies full power to enforce the payment of rates by Maoris, or (b) providing for payment of Native rates by the general-Government. Cr. Andrews asked .how was it possible, to enforce the law unless the land was individualised, and even if the land was individualised, nothing could be done without the consent of the Native Minister, who would not give his consent. The cleVk stated that before any lard could be dealt with the Native rates had to be paid. He pointed out that the Counties' Conference had had the matter before them for years past. No action was taken.
