EXCESSIVE LAND VALUES
* PRICES ASKED OP 'RETURNED SOLDIERS. Br Telegnipb-Press Association. Christonurch, July 17. Several applications under the Discharged Soldiers' Settiienieut Act were declined' by the Land Board acting in the belief that it considered tho action in the best interests nf the men themselves on account of the excessive "values demanded by vendors. Commissioner Haszard said that in many c&ses tho prices asked ranged from id to 100 per cent, above the Government valuation, and it would be well for wonld-bo sellers to un-' dersiand that their cases were being noted, and if tho properties were brought up to- their own estimates at the next assessment,' and the tax and rates increased proportionately they would only '■ have themselves to thank. 11l a case before the board a vendor's interest had been recently vailmed at .£2250, and he had appealed against the valuation as excessive. He was now osflng a discharged soldier .£3500 for tho goodwill. The .board declined to recommend the transaction to the Minister.
