The truth of the saying that one story is good until the other side has been told has just received further exemplification. Mr. T. E. Taylor, of Ohristchurch, lias been making considerable capital out of th& fact* that the rates in Oaraaru have been reduced by 3d in the £, owing entirely to no-license. '' The real reason which- caused the reduction of the rates in that borough is, however, asserted by a- newspaper correspond-*. ent to be the increased rental from the reserves belonging to the borough which were recently "hold by Messrs. Campbell and Co., along with the Otekaike Estate, which has just .J been acquired by the Government. These reserves have just been relet at a very much increased rental, and if no-license had not been carried the reduction in rates would have been still greater. ■ .- . . '.■ _:- . .- ' ' Mr. ; J. Thorites will hold a . land auction sale to-day at 12 noon sharp, at his land sale rooms, "83, Queen-street. Several' allotments and * two' houses in* Tole*etreafe, JVmsouby;allotment in Kyiling Avenue, Epsom ; and several sections in Queen-street, Onehubgu, will bo submitted.
