Beswick, brought up the question of the state of the Board's finances, stating that he thought the time had arrived for the rates on local bodies to bo raised, so as to enable the Baard to carry out the work they were there to do. He thought that Parliament should be applied to for permission to increase tlie rates. Mr E. J. Howard moved that the Board write to the various local bodies, stating that it intended to apply to Parliament for permission to raise rates amounting to £5300.
