In those proceedings Lemm was not a party.

Then be took the value of the buildings on the blocks, made deduc tions from the total assessment for Crown rent, insurance, repairs, and limewashing, capitalised the balance at 8 per cent, and from the capitalisation deducted the value of the building. Then he divided the differ. ence between the capitalised value and the value of the building by the area of the black and thus got the value per square foot. In his figures there was a gradual increase in the value of the properties as they approached the Police Station. The claim made by the claimants worked out at 84.22 in respect of one lot. That was exorbitant. He could not see how it could be made up to that amount. He had placed the value at $1.49. With respect to the other marine lot

This extremely quixotic result was arrived at by Sir Francis Palmer paying heed to the letter of the enactment without regard to its sense or substance, and without a coil- sideration of the section as a whole. It was never intended that the Act of 1908 should after the law in essential matters of practice or otherwise; and this Sir Francis Palmer freely allowed. It is true that it has been held that the strict interpretation of the word

company in the Act leads to that esult, But, upon the subject of special resolutions, nothing but the absolute necessity of langu age could create such a preposterous idea that a special resolution was to be termed for any purpose and at any time "an extra. ordinary resolution." Starting with this Lam presumption admittedly against him, the learned author reads the words defining a special resolution as one "passed in the manner required for the passing of an extra- ordinary resolution" as meaning that the whole requirements for the passing of an extraszdinary resolution were then made ap

The arguments were heard in November a Board composed of Macnaghten, Lord Mersey, and Robson.

Me. Potter replied that there was very little difference in the two sets of figures. The average assessment for the Reclamation Street property in 1909 was $532 and for 1910 the average assessment was $5 before They were not to know that the experts for the claimants were going to base their detailed claims on the 190g assessments. They might have gone back to igos.

His Lordship sald' hè thought that would have been taken by the Attorney-General In opening.

Mr. Potter said that it made little differ ence. As a matter of fact the igio assess ment more accurately represented the assess ment of the houses in 1909 as the 1910 assessment was based on the returns sent in by the owners for 1909 early in 1910.
