HIGH VALUATIONS.
EXCESSIVE IN SOME COUNTIES. SOME RELIEF PROMISED. (By Wire—Parliamentary Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night. “It is likely that I shall have to ask Parliament to agree to a short Bill during the present session to enable something of the sort to be arranged,” said the Prime Minister, when it was suggested to him that valuations of many counties were excessive and should be reduced. The suggestion came from Mr. G. W. Forbes (Hurunui), who thought that arrangements ought to be made for a reduction by a certain percentage of all valuations in a particular county, once it was established that present valuations were unjustifiably high, in view of the ruling prices for produce. The Prime Minister admitted that in some districts valuations were unfairly high, owing to the fact that they had been made when produce was bringing high prices. He had been communicating with the Valuer-General with a view to having something done for such districts. He understood that legislation would probably be necessary.
