OVERBURDENED RATEPAYERS OVERBURDENED RATEPAYERS TAO you realize that less than one quarter of Wellington's population is called upon -I' to bear, in a direct charge, £600,000 in Annual Rate Levy? IN ADDITION—you pay indirectly many other municipal and local body fees and charges. EXTRAVAGANT, UNECONOMIC HOSPITAL BUILDING SCHEMES WILL INCREASE THIS BURDEN DURING THIS AND SUBSEQUENT YEARS. HOME OWNERS HOME OWNERS HOME OWNERS HOME OWNERS Yc»t are invited to attend a public meeting of ratepayers to be held in the CONCERT CHAMBER. TOWN HALL. ON WEDNESDAY NEXT, APRIL 5, AT 8 p.m. REMEMBER —Many of the large ratepayers who are in business can pass on taxation charges in trade, YOU cannot do this. An increasing direct charge will inevitably fall upon you each year unless something is done to check a colossal demand which is made upon a very limited minority. This is a most important meeting and will take the form more of a conference than the usual public meeting. MATTERS TO BE PLACED BEFORE YOU. 1. What course must be adopted to prevent a rise in rates again this year? 2. What constructive criticism can be put forward (in the form of a modified scheme now that a large hospital has been decided upon for the Hutt Valley) to avtirt the tremendous waste of public money which will eventuate if the present unwieldy Hospital Building Scheme is proceeded with? 3. In view of Social Security legislation should not the whole community bear the direct charge for hospital expenditure rather than a limited number of ratepayers an undue share of it? YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED. If the Wellington Ratepayers’ Association receives strong public support from members nnd other ratepayers there is a possibility’ of impressing upon Councillors and Hospital Board Members the fact that the rate levy in 'Wellington has more than reached a peak beyond which the limited number of ratepayers (approximately 22,000) cannot afford to go. No member wishes Io keep the development of the city back, but either the incidence of taxation must be changed or the scale of expenditure by public bodies must be restricted to a sum the people can reasonably afford from year to year. UNITED Something can be done. DISUNITED Nothing. But continued and increased exploitation of those who happen to own their own home or business premises. MEMBERS—You arc particularly asked Io attend this meeting on WEDNESDAY NIGHT and bring with you other ratepayers. For the Executive Committee Wellington Ratepayers’ Association. 11. H. MILLER. Chairman of Executive.
