The Municipal Conference this morning report that the committee had considered the proposals of the Mayor of Dunedin, relative to Hospital and Charitable Aid, and recommend : Ist, that Parliament be moved to alter the basis of the rate by providing that it be levied on the basis on which the preperty tax is levied without the exemption; 2nd, that the board, which at present makes a levy upon contributing bodies, shall be charged with the duty of making and collecting the rate. The clauses of tha report were put seriatim, the first being carried, and the second withdrawn. The conference discussed the bill to amend the Municipal Corporations Act, 1877, but took no action. A motion to repeal the Municipal Corporations Act, in the direction of giving power to the council to elect the mayor, was carried. It was resolved to endeavor to amend section 31, of the Bating Act, so as to provide that rates may be collected for five years instead of two years, after becoming due ; and agreed to.
