LAND VALUATION
WRITING-DOWN SUGGESTED. The need for a comprehensive scheme of land, valuation was mentioned by Mr. W. J. Poison (Ind., Stratford) in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. Mr. Poison gave notice to ask the Minister of Lands, Hon. E. A. Ransom, whether, failing a sufficient staff of valuers to tackle the problem of land valuation generally and simultaneously on an accurate and uniform basis, the Government would consider giving power to county councils to write down valuations to the maximum of 25 per cent, on properties which have not been revalued since April 1, 1931, thus doing away with the evils of private and piecemeal revaluation open only to those with the means to pay for it.
