GOVERNMENT VALUATIONS.
"My own experience of Government valuations is that they are very fair." This was a remark passed by Mr Justice Cooper at Wellington yesterday. His Honour did not in-1 dicate to whom tliey were fair. If he meant to imply that they are fair to the State, few will be found to disagree with him. If, on the other, hand, he desires it to be understood k that they are fair to the individual, thousands of urban and rural owners will join issue with, him. His Honour requires- only to take a run round the suburbs of Wellington to i find how i grossly unfair the Government valuations are. If he goes as far,, as" the Lower Hutt, lie will be able to discover land that is on the mark,et at £1 per foot less than the, Government valuations.' Nobody "who knows anything of the subject Will deny that the price of land throughout the Dominion lias been •.Unduly inflated by Government valuers; ; ■ . ■
