RACING CLUB’S TAXATION
IMMEDIATE REMISSION URGED.
SPORT’S PROSPECTS NOT BRIGHT.
By Telegraph.—Press Association.
Whangarei, July 23.
Commenting upon the discouraging prospects confronting the sport of horseracing in the Dominion through the general financial depression, Mr. L. W. Nelson, representative of the Auckland province on the executive committee of the New Zealand Racing Conference, told the annual meeting of the Whangarei Racing Club last night that the Government’s levy exactions were crushing the life out of racing organisations. He predicted that unless a considerable easement of taxation was promptly afforded the majority of smaller clubs throughout the country would be eliminated within two years. The meeting resolved that the conference executive be urged to take immediate action in the direction of securing some remission of taxation. ,
