PETROL TAX.
ALLOCATION OF REVENUE. A telegram as under lias been received by Mr. J. W. Harding, clerk of the Ilaivera County Council, from Mr A. E. .Tull, chairman of the Counties’ Association:— “The Motor Spirits Taxation Act provides for eight, per cent, of the tax being paid to boroughs of over 6000 population. It is now reported tnat this percentage will probably be increased. This will be at the expense of the counties.” Mr Harding, after conferring with members of his council, replied as follows: — “Providing that, the petrol tax is allocated to counties on the basis of capital valuation and road mileage, this council raises no objection to the proposal. Failing such allocation, we consider the proposed tax unjust and strongly disapprove of same.’’
