The recent provision made for the exemption from rating of certain Maori pas. is a.matter of considerable satisfaction to countv clerks, who previously. owing to there being no defined owners, were up against an almost impossible task in collecting the rates on the .natives’ common ground. Mr J. W. Harding, clerk for the Hawera County Council” has been instrumental, in bringing about the solution of the difficulty, and he is to be congratulated upon the success of his efforts. Tn the Hawera district the Ketemarae, Mokoia and Taiporohenua pas have been exempted, while in the case of pas covering a wide area, such as Umatahi, Meremere, Okaiawa and Ngatiki, only portions are now rateable. ,
