SUMNER VALLEY RATE
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir—Ratepayers of the Sumner Valley should look at this. The present rate, levied on the unimproved value, is 3|d; the additional rate under the proposed loan will be nearly 6|d, a total of more than lOd in the pound, in addition to such trifles as water, hospital, and tramway rates. For a semi-rural district, devoid of good roads and subject to flooding, this should be a record and should ensure a rush of settlers to the area affected. —Yours, etc., A NATIVE.
