NATIVE LANDS.
A CLAIM FOR RATES
(By Telegraph—Prest Association.) TIMARU. Last Night.
The rates on Maori reserves, containing 16 acres, within the borougih, tlio titles to which were individualised three weeks ago, were the subject of a suit in the Magistrate's Court to-day, the Borough Council claiming £BS on the rateable values, £l5O for 1911, and £3OO for 1912 and 1913. There are 66 owners, and, as the law provides, two were sued as the nominal owners. Mr J. H. Moore, whd appeared for the Native owners, said that, after looking into the matter, he could offer no defence, and therefore consented to judgment, which was entered accordingly against the two owners on behalf of the whole. The land is now surrounded by building®, except for the railway on one side.
