Suva Rates Go Up
p. 111 · Read in the full issue
THE unimproved capital value of land in the Fiji City area has been very considerably raised as a result of the recent triennial re-valuation by the City Council.
This means that rates will be more, although the actual rate per £ has been lowered.
Total amounts to be raised through rates, as compared with 1954, are as follows: General rate, Suva Ward, £1,660,086 (£997,008); Sama bula Ward, £1,029,346 (£914,752) ; Sewage rate, Suva Ward, £1,765,448 (£1,068,179); Education rate, all Wards, £1,364,759 (£938,572).
