“The injustice to agriculture involved in the present rating system was pointed out by Mr R Lean, J P of Kineton, at the annual meeting of the Henley-in-Arden Branch of the Farmers’ Union.”

His appeal regards proposals in discussion to raise money for the nation that may result in farmers having to pay taxes on one-half of their rental, rather than the current one-third.
