of comparison that town section 50 was valued at L 6. Mr. Quill’s objection was here beard. His valuation was set down at L 530. Mr. Purnell for objector. The Mayor pointed out that the Act had not been complied with, inasmuch as seven clear days’ notice had not been given. Purnell argued that the intention had Keen substantially complied with in- as the objection had been lodged sevebydays before the loth inst. Worship ruled that the objection lodged in good time. The Town Clerk asked if the require ments of the Act were not complied with so far as giving notice was concerned, whether the same ruling would apply. The Judge said the question was a very „ proper one. Mr. Purnell then objected to the valua tion of the hotel, as being too high, and that other buildings on the premises had been separately rated, and that the rating value of the whole of the property was L3OO, and not L 530, as set down. Thomas Quill, sworn, deponed that the house, being a large one, was expensive to keep up, as, owing to the number of ser vants necessary to keep, and the depres sion of trade the house was not worth more than L3OO, including outbuildings. By the Court —I can’t say what the cost of the hotel was. I never had a legitimate offer for it. The two sections are worth LSOO, and including buildings L 4.000. I consider the building of less value now than it was when I built it. His Worship considered that L 320 would be a fair valuation, which would be the rateable value of the premises, taking the selling value at L 4,000 and deducting the 20 per cent as allowed by the Act would make the net value L 3,200, and he considered 10 per cent on that amount a fair valuation—viz., L 320. The Mayor objected, and called Harry Friedlander, the Valuator for the borough, who valued the property at L 7,000. I value the two sections at Ll*2oo and the buildings at L 5,800, and I consider the annual rental to be L 550. By Mr, Purnell—l have frequently valued sections privately. This is my first occupation as an official valuator. By the Mayor—l have been for two years engaged in buying and selling town sections. Mr. Quill, re-called—The total cost of the building when fit for occupation was L 3,200. It is insured fo r 13,000, but that does not include stock and furniture. The judge fixed the valuation at L 4500, and the rateable value would therefore be L 360. Thomas Quill also objected to be rated at L3O for the occupation of sample rooms in Saunders’ buildings. Valuation up held. Mr. H. B. Johnstone’s objections were then resumed. Mr. George Jameson deponed that the outside value of the sections was L4O each. J. Wilkie gave evidence that in his opinion the sections were worth Ll2O each. Mr. Jameson said the section on which Bullock’s store was built was sold by him self for Ll5O. The Mayor said Mr. Bullock valued his section adjoining at L3OO, he valued the sections at from LIOO to Ll2O. John Orr estimated the value of the sections at L4O each. By the Mayor—l might give L4O if I wanted them, but not as a speculation. Charles Braddell, Town Clerk, deponed that he had twice been offered L3OO for section 55,. about 18 months ago. I should say the present value is L2BO. Harry-Frftllander, deponed that within 3 for Nos. 48 and 49 adjoining. The valua tion was fixed at Ll 3 15s. for the sections. Objections was then taken to sections 434, 474, and 475, Cass and Burnett streets, valued at LSO. Geo. Jameson said I value the corner sections at LllO each. I don’t think Mr. Johnstone would sell at that price. J. Wilkie deponed holding an adjoin ing section rated at Ll 5, which he con sidered a fair valuation. The valuation was upheld. Objection was also made to 490,522,54 G, and 587, valued at L 52. Valuation up held. Also 919, 920, 1,197, 1,199. Valua tion reduced from L 34 to L 23. Mr. Jameson objected to the valuation on his grain store, set down at L 350. Reduced to L2BO. Acland, Campbell, and Co. ’s name struck out for Horse Bazaar, and Bullock’s in serted in lieu thereof. Acland, Campbell, and Co., also ob jected to the valuation of LBO per annum on auction room in Peter street. Altered to LSO by consent. Andrew Woods objected to his valua tion, LBO, as being excessive, on T.S. 461. The property was a nine-roomed house on a quarter-acre section, insured for L3OO. His rent was L7O. By the Mayor—l used to pay L9O. It was reduced in Januaiy last to L7O. Re duced to L 56. B. Connolly, on section 446, considered his lean-to over-rated at L2O per annum, and got off with Ll 3. Mitchel and Turner, assessed at L9O, on section 126. Wm. Mitchell said the building did not cost L 250. They were insured for that amount in the Union Insurance Company. Mr. Cox insured them without asking any questions. There are two shops, dwelling house, and stable. John -Orr, sworn, considered the valua tion at X/90 was the outside value of the property. The value of the buildings as stated at L 250 is too low. They are worth X/175 each. The valuation was reduced to L6O. W. H. Zouch, for the Templar Hall Company, objected to the assessment of LIOO on the building, as it was probable the Court-house would be removed from the Hall. By the Mayor—We get about Ll4O rent a year for the Hall. The Mayor considered that with the de duction of 20 per cent, the actual net rental was Lll7, and asked that the rate able value be increased. The valuation was upheld by the Judge. Parker and Zouch, office- and coal yard, East street, rated at L 45. Reduced to L 24. W. Keall, Wesleyan parsonage, assessed at LBO. Mr. Orr appeared for the trus tees, and considered L 65 per annum a fair rental. Reduced by consent to L 65. Orr and Co., rated at LIOO on section 240. Mr. John Orr considered the outside value at LSO. The building cost L 250, and was on a railway reserve, for which we pay a rental of L2O per annum. Valuation fixed at L 65. Thos. Bullock, L 62 10s., for offices in East street. Mr. Bullock objected, as the property was already included in Mr. Gun dry’s valuation. Disallowed. Hayes and Co., timber yard, LSO. Re duced to L3O.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE’S COURT.

y —* ASHBURTON — Tuesday, Feb. 17. (Before Mr. F. Guinness, R.M.) DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. , ■ Charles JS’oad for being drunk and disorderly, warned 10s., with the option of 24 hours.; 4 reccoio! Charles Evans was charged with being illegally on premises, and pleaded having lost his way at Power’s Hotel, among a lot of larrikins, and was quite innocent of any wrong. The Magistrate reminded Charley that it was a very short time since he had been up before, he would let him off with the , stipulation that his next visit would eventuate in a six months’ trip to port.

RAKAIA AND ASHBURTON FORKS RAILWAY.

£ This railway, constructed under the District Railways Act, was officially in spected by Mr. A. D. Austin on Monday. A number of gentlemen interested in the success of the undertaking left Christ church by the 8.40 a.ra. express train, and on its arrival at the Rakaia station one of the company’s handsome saloon carriages, with engine attached, was in readiness on the branch line to convey the party on their tour of inspection along the new lino, At present the lino terminates at Methven, which is distant 22 miles and 23 chains from Rakaia, but, inclusive of sidings, the length of the plato-laying is 25 miles, and is of a most substantial character, as none but 521 b. steel rails are used; indeed, it is not too much to say that a better made and ballasted line of railway than that from Rakaia to Methven is not to be found in Nov; Zealand. The width of gauge is the same as the main line —viz., 3ft. Gin. The train ran smoothly, and there are but few curves on the whole line, in all there are nine stations on the length, named respectively Hatfield, Somerton, Mitcham, Sherwood, Winches ter, Urrall, 'Lyndhurst, Cairubrae, and Methven. It is worthy of notice that this railway, which intersects a large.grain growing district, will be opened for traffic just at the time when the agriculturists of the district will be only too glad to avail themselves of the facilities thus afforded of an expeditious mode of transit for their grain and produce to a ready market and the port. Nor will its advantage to the district end here. Closely situated to Alford Forest as is the Methven rail way station, the products of that well known bush will new be readily placed in the market, and when this line has been passed for traffic, these advantages will be speedily utilised by the Alford Forest resi dents. At 2.30 p.m. the return joui-noy commenced. It may be mentioned that the whole length of tjie Rakaia to Methven rises about 600 ft, the rise being very evenly distributed over the whole distance. Each station is placed on the level, thus ensuing perfect control over the train when once at a station. At the Methven terminus the buildings are—the station, engine shed, three stall carriage shed, stationmaster’s house, and five houses for railway employees, in addition to which a house has been built at Rakaia for Mr. Oxley, the company’s manager. The engines will take in water at each terminus, viz., Rakaia and Methven. At the latter place a Corcoran’s patent wind mill draws the necessary supply from a depth of 120 ft. The Rakaia station buildings of the branch railway are situated some fifteen chains from the Rakaia main station. It is said to be the intention of the Government to shift the main station to a site adjoining this when the Rakaia-Alford Forest line is opened for traffic. On the return journey the train was stopped near the residence of Mr. E. S. Coster, and he and a party of friends added their congratulations to those already bestowed on the branch railway proprietors.—“ Press.”

Cut by a Reaper.—On a farm near Balclutha, on Monday, the horses drawing a reaper shied. , The man sitting on the machine was thrown in front of the knife, and had his foot clean cut off above the ancle. French Communists in Auckland.— The schooner Griffin, arrived on Tuesday at Manukau from jSTe\v Caledonia, with 25 French Communists on board, whose terms had expired. Their feres to Auck land were paid by the French Govern ment. Thirty-one days at sea the pro visions gave out, and they were supplied by the Lochnagar, from Auckland to Hobart Town, but these also failed, and the last drop of water was used up when they approached land and a case of wine was broached. Eleven of them are political deportds; the balance are offenders against the criminal code. Ac companying the party are one woman, one child, and three girls ; the wife and infant of one political deportd, and the daughters of another. The men are of various trades, compositor, lithographer, printer, butcher, baker, painter, writer and grainer, music master, and laborers. They are anxious to get to work at once. The political batch seem a quiet, intelli gent, and respectable lot of men. For continuation of reading matter see fourth
