RANGIORA RATES
Criticism Of Increase Criticism of the recent 10 per cent increase in Rangi- [ ora Borough rates has come [from the Social Credit candidate for Rangiora in last year's General Election (Mrs L. Moore). Mrs Moore said that it was j inevitable that rates would ■continue to increase even higher. ; “Nationally local bodies are spending only one-third of rates collected annually on current work programmes while approximately twothirds are taken for servicing debt and interest," she said ,1 High rates of interest meant that work being performed by local bodies was being paid for twice by the i ratepayer. i “Taxpayers are rapidly ; realising that the real cause of higher rates is exorbitant interest rates.”
