EVIDENCE AS TO DEPRECIATION OF HOUSE

PROPERTY.

The hearing of the arbitration brought under the provisions of the Harbour of Re- fugz Ordinance of 1900 as amended by the Harbour of Refuge Amendment Ordinance, fore, was continued before the Chief Justice yesterday.

The Government was represented by the Attorney-General (Hon. Mr. Rees. Davies, K.C.) and Mr. Eldon Potter, instructed by the Crown Solicitor (Mr. J. H. Kemp), while Mr. M. Slade, instructed by Mr. Needham of Messrs. Ewens and Harston, Mr. C. E. H. Beavis, of Messrs, Willcinson and Grist, and Mr. Holborow, of Messrs. Deacon, Looker and Deacon, represented the varicus property owners,

O taking his seat,

His Lordship said-It seems to ine, Mr. Attorney, that the issue" now is fairly well defined, and I should have thought some agreement could be come to. For example, 1 should like to see how far you challenge the plaintiff's case and how far you agree to Take the valuation, of the properties as they existed in 1909 when there was sea necess. Do you challenge that?

The Attorney-Genera!--Yes, my Lord. I think you will find that we challenge every thing. There is very little common ground between 45.

His Lordship-It seems to me the issue was perfectly dear that the award must be the difference between the new.

inland lots and the value as they were when they had sea access.

The Attorney-General-Yes, that is the question. The great question of the levels is whether they have sustained any damage

I find Mr. Ough makes cer uin deductions, and his claim is for $4,746 plus 10 per cent, and the award is $1,155 What I want to get at is whether you base your calculation on the Government assess men or not?

The Attorney-General-The Government my lord,

His Lordship-We are rambling a great deal, but if I know that the Government assessment is the basis of the Government calculations then the ground is clear.

The Attorney-General-The Government bases its award on the advice, rendered by experts.
