"UNDER CONSIDERATION"
UNPAID NATIVE RATES
STRANGE URGENT
QUESTION
(Parliamentary Reporter.)
WELLINGTON, this day.
"This is a strange urgent question," commented the Minister of Finance, the Hon. W. Nash, in the House of Representatives, when Mr. W. J. Broadfoot (Nat., Waitomo) requested him to inform Parliament whether it is proposed this session to relieve local bodies and ratepayers of the heavy burden imposed on them through the non-payment of rates on native lands.
The Minister enforced his point about making this an urgent question by reminding the House that the matter had been under consideration for "ten, twenty, or thirty years."
Mr. Broadfoot: We had your word it Avould be considered.
The Minister: The Government has the matter under consideration with other native questions, and when these have been investigated we will advise the House.
