William Jeffrey. VALUATION OF GLASGOW The valuation of Glasgow is less this year than last, but it is a small fluctuation which will not affect the rating position. Reductions, however, are so rare in the city's history that, they call for special attention when they occur. The almost invariable experience, has been for the valuation to advance year after year, and this has help- ed to disguise the growing civic ex- penditure so far as it is reflected in the rating. In the first year of the operation of the Valuation Act of 1854 the total valuation of the city was only £1,336,475. It rose stea- dily, unti in 1914 it had reached wver £7,500,000. Large increases were added in the post-war years, and the £10,000,000 mark was ex- ceeded in 1921. The figure for the current year is £12.393.853. CASTLE GOVERNOR
