Copy of Objection. Objection to valuation of 4/48/575, Lots 3/5, 15/20, D.P. 517, R. 5.154, Jerrold and Taramea Streets, Spreydpn, Christchurch, sent to the Department on. 7/8/14 : — Because the unimproved value of these sections is surely no more than that of the others in the same street, and yet on your own showing you make these sections £11 ss. each, higher value than my other one next to them (i.e., allowing £40 as the value of the f 7 perches, which is an outside value). To put £120 on a section of I rood 2 perches and £131 ss. on the very next section of 1 rood is curious logic (they are both exactly similar sections). I sold the three sections in Taramea Street at the other end from the ones in question for £345, or an average of £115 each, and this included the corner one, and to say that those at the Jerrold Street end are of the value of £131 ss. each is absurd. Pinally, to jump the value of land at a stroke from £390 to £565 is out of all reason.
