THE WAINUI WHARF RATING.
DISTRICT.
Tβ the Editor,
Sir,—With reference to Mt MasonV remarks at the County Connci! meeting that there wee a similar case of hardship ■i\ Okain'e Bay, where Mr Boleyn had t>: pay a rate although he shipped his pro- : duce it f-tmey B>y, I would like lo point on , tint in the Olfiiu'e Wharf Rating Di t ict the boundaries h«va been so fixt-.i an i<> β-ninnce Land a opit-iin di«»- : 'sncn on eae'i »id* of the wh*rf ; but in th« Wiirtni District this if n< t (he csse. an'! th-vt is fc'ie rt'iint tli»t I compliin üboati Mr C. Mcß >nald*s land is the i northern boundaiy, which is within h-»if a mile of the whaif; it then extends down the harbour to domh Hu<d. a dis'ence of about cis mile", «nd thence round the ooast to Island Bty, another five miles. The boandary of my , land is about thje« inilee from the wharf. I ship all my produce from Lnca*' B.y by a road half the co t of whrch I had to piy, and am saddled with a rate of £7 7h per ye*r, or a fourth of the whole rale, for a work from which I derive no beneßt. It is onu of the most one-eided cases of rating in existence, and the boundaries certainly require ultering to mikj things more eq'iitftble.—Yours, &.-.. G. J. BLACK.
