CONCESSIONS WANTED
Overtures to Government Dominion Special Service. Palmerston North, August 28. “The Government’s remission of the totalisator tax has been of great assistance to racing clubs throughout the Dominion, but further concessions are required to enable many of the clubs to carry on,” said the president, Mr. C. Louisson, at the annual meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club. “It is the intention of the Racing Conference and the clubs to again approach the Government with a view to ameliorating the present conditions of racing, and several matters of great importance will be placed before the Government for its favourable consideration. “It has been necessary for all clubs to reduce their stakes, and it is considered that tha stakes tax should be removed to enable owners to carry on; otherwise a further decrease may be expected in the totalisator turnover, and in the ranks of the owners. It is to the advantage of all racing clubs to work for those who are interested in or obtain their living by racing; by taking a broad view in this respect they will not only be helping others but will eventually benefit their own institution.”
