THE ALFREDTON AMALGAMATION.
To the Editor.
Sir—Referring ti the above subject, I was one of tha settlers at the Alfredton meeting on Saturday afternoon, and there was one most important point missrd by the speakers, and that was: The rating on the Alfredton riding is on tin capital value, is one penny aiul five-sixteenths in the pound. The Eketahuna County is rated on the unimproved value and the rate is one penny and a frathing. Although we are rated half as heavy again (this rate, a penny ana live-sixteenths, is fully equal to two pence on the unimproved value), our side roads are in a shocking state of disrepair, and are likely to remain so, as the Engineer informed me that my road would never be kept in repair out of rates, and our .Councillors are surprised that we are dissatisfied with this state of things. All those settlers who did not attend the Alfredton meeting should give serious consideration to this t fact.—l am, etc,
M. GODINAGH. Alfredton. July 21, 1910.
