RATING AND VALUATION.
A correspondent recently eongratula&sf the ratepayers of Waiteinata County »n their sense of justice in turning down rating on unimproved value. Some of us. I am afraid, voted thus because we preferred the present valuations to those likely to be inflicted on us by the Aaluation Department. Sections which to-day under capital value rating may be deemed worth £-100 may unimproved value rating be made worth £200 by the stroke of the pen of some official. We had a pretty object lesson in that sort of valuation in the neighbouring township of Xew Lynn some time a2O. Sections there were valued at super-boom figures. Now that sections cannot he given away in Xew Lvnn we do not find the valuation officer hurrying along to correct his figures to normal and let some wind out of the inflation figures his office was so prompt to standardise.
