THE CENTRAL CHAMBER OF AGRICUL-
2'UliE.

A council meeting of the members of the Central
Chamber of Agriculture was held at the Salisbury lintel,
Fleet-street, on Tuesday, Mr. Read, M.P., in the chair.
I'he meeting was largely attended.
The chief question before the council was the considera-
tion of the best substitute for the malt tax. This was
brought before them in the shape of a resolution declaring
the opinion of the meeting "that, until the amount of malt
duty can be spared from the revenue, considerable benefit
would ensue from repealing the tax on malt and obtaining
an equivalent in the least objectionable manner upon
beer." A short discussion took place upon the motion,
the chairman saying that if the tax were put from malt
to beer, there would soon be an agitation of the labouring
classes for its ultimate repeal. The resolution was carried
by a large majority.

The next subject was that of Local Taxation, but
no definite action was taken. The following resolution
was afterwards - passed :—" That while approving the
principle of elective valuation boards, and of a
uniform table of deductions from gross value for
obtaining a common basis of rateable value, this
Chamber is of opinion that the operation of the bill should
be limited to local taxation, that the clauses giving
powers to the surveyors of taxes are objectionable, that
the final court of appeal should be, not the County Court,
but the Valuation Board, and that actual rent should not
be fixed by the Act as the minimum of gross valuv."
