CITY VALUES
(To tile1 Editor.) . Sir,—ln view of the fact that since the last valuation of town and suburban properties, there has been a serious fall in values, amounting in some cases to more tnan half, would it not be only a fair thing m these days of financial stringency for a fresh valuation to be made, prior to the new rate demands - being n" •,, feel sure even from the City Councils viewpoint, this would be more beneficial thtfn the levying of rates that SSf 5, 0?™ 01 PB*- There is over £200,000 of last year's rates still unpaid, and 1 am informed of the 1930 rates of ?no, r .f 150' 000 vn Paid ou 9tli January, iJ.il, tne greater part yet remains unpaid, burelyaa a measure of expediency in these times, it only of common justice, as present valuations on the roll are in most cases far above sale values, this measure of relief should be granted to ratepayers.—l am, A.H.GIBSON.
