RATING ON UNIMPROVED VALUES.
(BY TELEGRAPH— PRESS ASSOCIATION'). Wellington', Last Night. A lepotation of members of Parliament waited on the Premier this evening, and pointed out certain defects in the Rating on Unimproved Value Act which required amendment. Mr O'Rogan explained that in Inangahua, where the system had been adopted, mining companies would have to pay two aud a-half times as much taxation as previously, owing to the fact that, as the Act stood, they could not obtain exemption for certain improvements, such as tunnels and winzes. Other members urged that power to utilise the provisions of the Act should be given to road boards, and also that the majority of those who actually voted should decide the question. Mr Seddon promised to look into matters and consult the law officers.
