OBJECTIONS TO REVISED VALUATIONS SITTING OF ASSESSMENT COURT. SIX CASES FOR CONSIDERATION. A sitting of an Assessment Court was held in Masterton this morning. Mr A. A. McLachlan, S.M., presided. There were also present: Messrs H. E. Leighton (Government assessor) and Alex Keith (local body assessor). Six objections against the revised, valuations at March 31, 1941, were dealt with. The first case dealt with was that relating to the Estate Vavasor-Barnett, Chapel Street, Masterton (Mr L. T. Wylie, representing the Public Trust). Mr Wylie intimated that if the value was not reduced it was intended to insection 4 of the Valuation of Land Amendment Act. This section enabled the objector to offer the land in question to the Crown at the objector’s valuation and if the Crown could not sell the land or did not buy it at that valuation, the valuation had to be reduced to the objector’s figure. The valuation was sustained pending the action proposed. Similar action was taken in respect to an application by W. F. McLaren (Mr James Macfarlane Laing) concerning a vacant section in the Manaia block. In the case of the applications of the Atlantic Union and Vacuum Oil Companies, and the Wairarapa Patriotic Association, the valuations were upheld. An amendment was made in respect to the case of the R. C. Mackenzie Settlement (Guardian Trust), in which the capital value was altered from £ll3O to £B5O, and improvements from £l3O to £5O. 1
