IBRECONSHIRE'S RATE.
I BRECONSHIRE'S RATE. At the Breconshire County Council, on Friday, a strong opinion was expressed against the proposal of the Finance Com- mittee to reduce the rate for general county purposes by threepence, making it 1/61 instead of 1/9 in the oC. The proposal was accepted by the Council. We understand that the Committee itself was not of one mind in making the recommendation, and the decision was arrived at only by the smallest majority. That being so, and the occasions so rare when a protest is made against the reduction of a rate it is worth while considering the reasons advanced by the minority for the opposition. Chief of these was evidently that the best expert finance opinion—that of the Finance Clerk of the Council—was against it. He intim- ated, in effect, that the reduction of the rate would convey a sort of false impression of prosperity and that the awakening would come at a time when the ratepayers could the least able meet it. As a matter of fact, he pointed out that were. it not for the working balance held at present, a rate of < 1/10 would actually be required this year to meet the difference between the estimated receipts and expenditure. Further, that although a reduction to 1/6 is made this year, in every probability the succeeding rates would go up by fivepence or sixpence. In his opinion it, \uld be more advisable to work the next i'e-,V years on a uniform rate at 1/9 (the present rate), and gradually eat up the present acquired balance, than have a lower rate now and call for a heavier one when the lean years come-as we agree they are most likely to come-after the war. This certainly appeared a business-like proposition and was the line of argument taken up by the Rev. W. Llewellyn, who expressed his views very clearly. He was supported by no less an experienced public man than Mr Gwilym James, who saw the danger of facing bank charges by any material reduction of balances. It may be remembered that similar views were held by Mr Parry deWinton at the meeting of the Brecon Town Council a month ago in the discussion on the making of the urban rate. Evidently finance opinion is against the reduction of rates at the present moment. On the other hand there is much to be set against this. The question immediately arises whether public bodies are justified in asking for more money than they actually require for their immediate future needs ? To this, if we mistake not, the average ratepayer would immediately reply in the negative, on the principle that "sufficient for the day is the evil thereof," for everyone regards rates, more or less, as "a necessary evil." The County Council, we are re- minded, is not a trading concern." We agree, but many have doubtlessly wished that it had been run more on "business" lines. If it had been, probably Captain Travers and others would notjhave heard of the unenviable reputation tor extravagance which the Council, as he says, has earned, nor would the Hon. R. C. Devereux have read in the returns of Breconshire's position as the second highest rated county." It may be, as iiie-iiy think, not "business" now to reduce the rate when, as they say, the majority of people are doing well." It will certainly not be business" to raise it again in the leaner days. But why should it be higher than it is now ? We think it is full time that Breconshire's rates were reduced. In our opinion a rate for general county purposes, amounting to 1/6 in the £ is quite high enough for a county such as Breconshire, and we cordially endorse the opinion of Captain Travers that it is up to the Council to eschew extravagance in order that the rate may be kept at the reduced figure. The practice of economy will have to be continued long after the war is over.
