Criticising further the system of valuation now followed, he said that an objector would sometimes meet with information obtained from the State ifldvances Office or the Stamp Office showing that land in the vicinity had been valued for the purpose of obtaining an advance or had been sold at a certain figure, from which it would be. concluded that all land in the neighbourhood would have a similar value. The drilling plant which was sinking an experimental bore for the purpose* of testing gas and oil indications below the cliff opposite the breakwater at Napier ceased operations some days ago, an accident to the plant putting it out of commission.
