In the evening, Mr. Alexander, counsel for the railway, presented his argument for the company and Mr. Jones spoke on behalf of the city's case. At the conclusion of Counsel's argument Mr. Justice Oregory said that he would retire to consider the evidence and would give his judgment this afternoon at 2:30. Air. Alexander continued his cross examination of M. M. Stephens when court resumed yesterday afternoon and closely questioned the witness as to why he had said that the property of the i ompany between Moresby and Park Avenues was suitable for yards when It would require a vast expenditure to prepare the property for thaf purpose, lie also asked the witness to give off hand his own valuation of certain pieces of land which had been assessed.

On Water Street he had sold two lots for 1430 each, lie men tioned also that the city. In building the bridge over More Creek, had been, obliged to leave room for the ooustruc-j Hon of two railway tracks and that the company had asked for this when plans were prepared for the construction of the bridge. At the western end of Moresby Avenue he had sold two lots recently for 1100 each which was near, to one of the areas mentioned several times by witnesses and counsel on both sides. On being asked by Mr. Jones as to whether he had any knowledge of the value of property In other part from sales he had made, witness said that he had also sold two lots nar the mill which were adjacent to the company's property for ll&O each. In Bection Two also, within five months, he had sold two lota for 1300 each. Reference was made to the sale of certain sections to J. T. Duthle of Seattle and Mr. McClymont said mat be had tried to ascertain whether any of that property could be purchased and ) l received the impression that title could not be given to It. NOKTII VAM'OI Vi:R Afct:MOK The manner of assessing waterfront property in North Vancouver was explained by II. C.

Later the pro- j perty was mid ror ina amount icr!the court. E. P. jonM WM forceful in which It had been assessed. Mr. Wright believed that waterfront property In Prince Rupert should be as valuable as In Norttt Vancouver considering the fact that the population was nearly the same. Cross examined by Mr. Alexander, wit ness said that he had known Mr. Reeve for a long time and would place his name among the first six If called upon to select valuatora. It was, however, a difference ol opinion In the case he had mentioned In which his decision had been upheld by the court. At this stage In the proceedings, there was considerable argument between counsel aa to the admissibility of a Journal of the House Qf Commons, certified by the. King's Printer, showing an item of 1165,000 In tba estimates for the -purchase of the Prince Itupert elevator site. ' After the admission of the document as an exhibit. Mr. Jones called on O. C. Walker of this city aa the next witness. Mr. Walker recounted his exper iences In real estate In the past year and a half and said that hla Judgment had not been In error aa to values.

INTKKESTINO MMON rht evening session proved to be the most interesting . from the spectators' point ol view of any of tie sessions of nia nresentatlon of the case and .showed a familiarity with various cases which had a bearing on the questions of law which, he argued, had to be considered. Mr. Alexander analyzed the evidence of various witnesses and at one time referred to the difficulty of securing wit-3 cases for an "outside corporation." He ret erred to the. evidence as showing, without contradiction, that the assess ment of city property had been reduced 33 per cent since 1922, and the assess- mcnt of the company hsd been creased 77 per cent In the same period. This, in hla opinion, showed, dlscrlmlna. tlon.

Mr. Jones quotttd 37. Coming to the manner of assessing I the right of way of the company, coun-1 sel claimed that the assessor had erred in assessing tne rignt-oi-way for the same value whether it had been cleared lis l9iasHassssr rsssT9assssssssssssss7 TWrswOy ,or not- In opening his remarks Mr. Jones quoted two casea for consideration of His Lordship and stated that. In his Tplnlon. these outlined the principles on which the appeal should be determined. It was difficult to arrive at any valuation of the property which could not. be bought and was not sold. He then1 referred to the evidence of the wit nesses called by the appellant ana1 quoted precedents s to his idea of the: value which should be given expert! testimony. Such evidence should be; crutlnhsed very carefully. i Mr. Jones maintained that the evl-' deuce of Mr. Arnold and Mr. Reeve was similar to Mr. Nlchol'a and It was very suggestive that the three had agreed i in Jhe manner they had computed ! waterfront values. It was, however, very difficult tor any, man to come Into the city from outside and prepare a valuation without being familiar Kh local condltlona. He claimed that Uie appellants hsd. endeavored to slngte out a rocs pile or two ana were noi sonstdtrlng the terminal as a whole.

The amount ot freight paid on these ship. menta amounted to over 4580.000. This waa an Indication ot what might be expected In the development of railway business. Counsel said that.
