TROTTING CLUB'S COMPLAINT.

(PEBSB A3SOCUMO* TXMHHUH.)

DUNEDIN, August 37.

A feature of the annual meeting of the Forbury Park Trotting Club tonight was an attack made by the pre- \ sident, Mr B. S. Irwin, and a member c of the committee, Mr A. G. Neill. on £ the Government in regard to its action t; in having continued war-time measures t in uT lriTn said that the Government J had promised that with easier times taxation would be withdrawn, but the promises had not been kept. The posi- »■ tion'was that the racing community j just now was being bled white in the C interests of wowserism. Politicians who v were supposedi to be Btatesinen were s pandering to the demands of Wowsers, g Ud were afraid to act in a manner i that would show that they had the t courage of their convictions. a MrTSeill quoted figures to show how ( the clubs were being Wed, and hew t that it was a distinct breach of faith for the Government to continue taxation that was purely a war-time impo-sit-ion. He moved the following mo- * tion, which was carried unanimously: ' "That this meetine of the Forbury * Park Trotting Club considers the finan- 3 cial difficulties of trotting clubs are i due to the continuance by the Govern* i ment of excessive taxation imposed tor < war purposes, and strongly urges tne granting of immediate relief." < NEW BRIGHTON T.C. ] SPRING MEETING. 1
