GOVERNMENT ASKED TO STABILISE HOSPITAL RATE TO REVALUATION LEVELS
“Revaluations will put us back to where we were unless something is done to stabilise the rate,” said Mr NHughes (Maxwell), moving at the monthly meeting of the Wanganui Hospital Board yesterday that the following remit be submitted to the annual conference of the Hospital Boards’ Association of New Zealand: “That in the event of a revaluation of property in the contributing bodiesin the hospital rating area, and a general increase being made in the capital valuation, the Government be asked to keep within the spirit of stabilisation by reducing the taxable figure of scl in the £ in the same proportion to the increase.’
The chairman, Mr D. D. Simpson (Hunterville) said that a similar remit was moved at the conference in Dunedin last .year. While the hospital rate was stabilised at 5d in the £• values were not stabilised and could skyrocket, with the result that higher taxation would have to be paid. The remit was approved by the board.
