No support was forthcoming at a meeting of the Matamata County Council yesterday for the Morrinsville Borough Council’s suggestion that there should be at least partial exemption of ex-servicemen from taxation. It was stated at the meeting yesterday that the R.S.A. held similar views to the county council, being of opinion that the scheme would be unworkable in its details.
