MUNICIPAL CONFERENCE
REMITS FROM PETONE. CIVIL RIGHTS FOR GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES. Three important remits are being forwarded by the Petono Borough Council to the biennial conference of ,the Municipal Association. They are as under: — (1) That the Government be urged to pass legislation whereby it will be enabled to pay rates on lands secured for Workers' dwellings and lands for settlement, which lands are unoccupied or have not been disposed of. (2) That the attention of the Government be drawn to the injustice now placed upon boroughs like Petone through the regtt' lations which forbid railway employees and Civil Servants from taking an active part in local body matters, and that the Government be requested to remove the restrictions so that the men may take a seat on borough councils. (3) That the Government be asked to make the annual fee payable for a slaughterhouse license on a sliding scale of £1 per 1000 head of sheep slaughtered, in lieu of the present fee of £1, irrespective of the number of animals killed.
