■ **•■*• Tataation. B J^^of the Borough ■ Sw?^ Major in i. ■&^ the purpose of

Mr James McCormick explained that the reason he had signed the requisition asking the Mayor to convene the meeting was that he was very strongly dissatisfied with the mode in which borough taxation had been levied. It was heavy and not fairly ad justed. The speaker proceeded to sketch the history of the formation of the borough, and to explain the present position of matters. He complained of the depasturing of cattle upon the public mads, which the Surrey Hills Company had unlawfully fenced off. He also contrasted the inequality of the rating of the Surrey Hills Company's property and that of pn : vate owners. For instance, the Company was rated at L3OO per acre, while Mr Am bury was rated at a rate of 14,000 per acre, and lie himself at L6 ; 000 per acre. All should be treated alike. The roads should not have been taken over by the Newton Road Board until the roads were formed. The Company paid only 1.190 for the whole lock, stock, and barrel of their property, while the unfortunate ratepayers paid L 420. He hoped the Councillors would state what they intended to do in the matter. Mr K. Boyd complained that the new Councillors had been taken completely by surprise in not being previously informed or the subjects upon which they were expected to epeak. The Mayor, in reply to the first speaker, explained that the Newton Road Board had not hail the power to oppose the dedication of the streets, but they had opposed the dedication of lanes. As for the fences, they could be shifted at any moment, but he failed to dis cern any advantage in doing so. The rates had been struck according to law, and Mr McCormick, like other ratepayers, had had the right of objecting to the valuations. But the appeals were trivial and few in number. Mr McCormick replied to Mr Boyd and the Chairman. Some desultory discussion ensued with regard to the obligations which the Surrey Hills Company took upon themselves in the first instance, and as to the exact nature of which there seemed to be some confusion of ideas.

Mr McCormick then formed a com mittee, to consist of four Councillors of the Surrey and Sussex Wards, and three ratepayers, to take legal advice as to the power of the Council to assess fair rates all round. He wished to prevent the present vagaries of valuation. Mr Boyd pointed out that the best way of readjusting valuations was to appeal against those that were considered un fair.

The Mayor did not think all the lawyers in Auckland could affect the valuations by their legal opinions. He believedMr Currie had carried out his duties as valuer very well.

MrDonalcl proposed that the fences should be removed from the Surrey Hills, and that the acreage system of valuation should be done away with in favour of valuation by allotment.

Mr W. Fdgar seconded. The motion was put and carried. After furthur remarks from Mr Mc- Cormick, in the course of which he said the Surrey Hills Company paid L 197 in rates and made L2OO by leasing their depasturing rights, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and the meeting ended.

PRECEPTS.

In Poetry and Prose.

Three little maids from school are we, Proper and god as we ought to be ; The reason why you will shortly see : Three little maids from school. i . Three little maids, delighted very, Laughing always so bright and merry ; Every one with a " Waterbury :" Three little maids from school. Time is money. But before the Water bury Watch was introduced it was impos sible to say how much. Now everybody knows that Time is 13s 6d. The great popularity of the Waterbury Watch is still further enhanced by the fact that it can be repaired at a less cost than any other watch in the world The Waterbury Watch is not alone the cheapest watch in the world to buy, but it is also the cheapest to have repaired. Re pairs are charged for according to require ment, but in no case do they exceed 2s 6d, except by mutual agreement. The Waterbui-y would not be the cheapest watch in the world if it could not be repaired cheaply when required. The Company undertakes this responsibility at a nominal cost, never exceeding 2s 6d, except by mutual agreement. Why should I give -Po or £10 for a watch that has to be perpetually undergoing re nairs, and at the best of times cannot be relied on, when I can buy a perfectly re liable, strong, and handsome Waterbury Watch for 13s 6d ? The Waterbury Watch has nothing to fear from ridicule, nothing to dread from exposure. It is just what it claims to be— A strong, handsome, serviceable, well-, finished timekeeper, and defies competi tion. The Waterbnry Watch is ruining the profession of the pickpocket. He has to expend just as much skill on the annexa tion of a Waterbury as he does on a 100 ---euinea gold chronometer. But its intrinsic value is so small that he cannot realise. It won't melt.
