BOROUGH’S PROTEST AT RATING
“ SMALL AREAS REVALUED FIRST ”
Steps were being taken by the North Canterbury Catchment Board to ensure that any revaluations of separate areas be enforced in the same year, reported the chairman of the finance committee (Cr. H. L. Oram) at a meeting of the Kaiapoi Borough Council last evening. The council had protested to the Catchment Board last month that its rates to the board had remained the same as for the previous year, although the borough’s valuation had been increased by 85 per cent. The Valuation Department always seemed to revalue the small areas first, and they were hard hit by this, said Cr. Oram.
