What he wanted was busy Mr rets, bright shop window, crowd of paem by and afternoon theatre. An politely ait possible he was akked why In the name of everything good and brae and beautiful did he come north. He was told that the effete south was the place for those thing.

A portion of the committee wished to bold o to the property by putting ad arbitrary price on It while It wa felt by other that the property should be disposed of for the charge against It. A the committee could not agree on a concrete proposal, he felt that the council should decide what wa going 'o te done and make the decision public so that prospective bidders might have jome bast upon which to work. Mayor Newton felt that the same method a followed before might b adopted, namely that offers be received and dealt with on their merit by the .'iuance committee and council. He :ould see no better plan. The city cent auction sale of reverted property In VlctorU had been a failure. It had (radically destroyed the assessed valuations. t .NMr.NI UA-H Aid Stephen said that he had al ways held that the basts adopted by thl city in selling reverted property had not been a sound one.

It would then be up to the finance conunlttre and council to deal with such offers on their merit. - Aid. Casey stated that the finance committee had been unable to come tc policy he could nut see it. "And no one else can." added AlaVi Stephens. Aid. Casey said tf Aid. Jo. Oreer Is so dense that he had aat and ssw sales made and could not discern a policy" he would explain the policy. When this explanation had been ottered. Aid. Jos, Oreer said that he could still see no policy. Values accepted by the city In selling lot even thl yvwr had not coincided. .

That he felt waa only a business proposition. A It waa, the city bad been disposing of only the Choicest property and the poorer hsd been left to accumlaU and be carried, While he believed the most of the pro perty was worth a good deal more than the charges against it. he felt that these charge should not be Uken Into consideration when selling but that the property should be dUpcned of at a fair value. If aales were made at proper values, he would not object to term telng granted although he would point out that when a corporation uch as the city gave Urm they were seldom lived up to. The mayor felt that all member C the council wished to follow the best method possible In disposing of revert! I-roperty. He conld only see two plan, open, however. The first would be to lollow the former cour In telling uc.i property for the charge against It, or follow Aid.

Btephens held that for the city to sell property at leu than the Assessed value would be an admlsion that the assessment wa too high. To this tne mayor replied that It was hi opinion that the city would not be directly letting value by selling the property as It had been doing. ,ASSLT TO 1ITV Aid. Stephens took the view that if the city held on to thl reverted property by demanding the proper values, It would some day be an asset, a he believed the city would shortly b coming Into 1U own. He felt that it would be better to drop the ambition to sell property when the market was not receptive and Instead lay back and protect the value for the citizen.
