Rate inquiries

Sir, — As my new Government valuation is almost five times the 1969 figure I rang the rate department, of the Christchurch City Council to ask if my rates would be five times greater. I was curtly informed they had not a clue. While I heartily agree with this statement, I just wonder if there is not somebody else in the council endowed with enough mar-

■ ,bles to answer the question? il — Yours, etc., J.C.K. June 8, 1975. [The City Treasurer (Mr L.j A. G. Rich), replies: "I have’ no knowledge of the phone call, but the answer at that: time was ‘no’ because the' | rates payable depend on the, I relationship of the individual! value increases and the city, 'averages. The latter were:; capital 2.806. land 4.106. im-1 provements 2.100. Subject to • confirmation of estimates, if I your correspondent takes $l2: a $lOOO of his land value and adds $4 a $lOOO of improvements he will have an approximation of his 1975-76 rate assessment.”]
