RATING ON UNIMPROVED VALU.
THE SYSTEM EXTENDED. (JFbom Oub Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, October 12. The Rating Act now provides that the system of rating on the unimproved value shall not apply •to water, gas, electric light, sewage, or hospital and charitable aid rates. A bill has now been, introduced by the Minister of Internal Affairs to repeal this provision, and to provide that, in any district where rating on the unimproved value is adopted, the system shall apply to these rates as well _as to those rates leviable under the principal act.- In districts where the system is now in force a poll may be taken to decide that it shall apply to the rates specified.
