A REQUEST FOR RELIEF. WAIROA, Sept. 7. Opinions that the tax at present imposed on smaller racing clubs in New Zealand was grossly unfair, and that it was killing them were expressed at the annual meeting of the Wairoa Racing Club. The meeting decided to write to the Minister for Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) asking that the smaller clubs be given some relief, and suggesting that the position might be met by the adoption of the system that in cases where £IO,OOO or less is put through the totalisator, the first £SOOO be free of taxation.
