THE REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS' ACT.

Sir, — The' time is drawing near "when Road Board Olerki »re to «end into >be Registration ■officer a list of thone rareoayers who have paid their rates. Can you inform me if the qualification of each ratepayer is to be stated in the return. If a more Alphabetical hst i« furnished, I cannot see how the Registration Officer ii to know tor what property rates hare been paid. Many ralepoyer* are trusting to be placed on the roll by thunew method. "Set I fear with the Tory Tague information furnished many mistakes will occur. If printed forms were sent they could be re ry ensilj filled up. which would take tome ol* the wsporidibt'ity off the poor paid olerks. - I AM A GLKHI. Wnikato, March 24th, 1876. [The clerk hai limply to make out a li3t of " nil thoxe ratepayers who have paid their rates," nnd in not required to flfnto for what property they ire rated. If tlie Government wanted th.v informal i«n they would huvo asked for it. Ah the net does rot require it our correspondent will not be liable to flue for not, furnishing it. It. is evident that I lie Government, do not card whether a man pays rates on a property worth ten- shillings or an nvtny thotisunns *>{ pounds In either ense if ho har paid Ins rate hit name will be addod to the hit of eleotors.— Ed.
