ASSESSMENT COURT
CITY VALUES.
The sitting of the Assessment Court was resumed yesterday morning, x to deal with the values of certain city pro. perties in dispute. Mr. AV. G. Iliddell, S.M., presidod, • the assessors being Messrs. H. E. Leighton (for the Valuation Department) and T. Divan (for tho City Corporation). During the hearing of the first objection, tho President of the Court said that tho whole proceedings were reduced to a farce because the Court had no power to deal with the capital value when Section 31 of tho Act was invoked. Tho owner fixed that value simply by offering it to the Government. In the case under note thers had been a reduction of £16,000 011 a valuation of £72,000, and there must be something wrong with a system which allowed such a difference to exist.
The Court was occupied the whole day with the adjustment of unimproved value and value of improvement? in cases where' the capital value had heen reduced by resort to Section 31. In one or two instances slight alterations were made, but, in tho .majority of eases, the proportions fixed by the Department, were sustained. This mornings the Court will deal with values in the. Miramar Borough.
