Discusses
Effect
Of
Judgment
in
I'rudhomme
Assessment
Appeal
"If
this
means
a
general
reduction
in
the
valuations
of
laud
in
Section
I,
it
will
involve
the
imposition
of
higher
taxes
on

in
the
city,"
declared
City
Commissioner
W.
J.
Alder
this
morning
in
commenting
on
the
judgment
of
Mr.
Justice
U.
A.
McDonald
in
Supreme
Court
reducing
the
assessment
of
J.
rrudhomme's
lots
on
Fraser
Street
by
about
thirty-eight
percent.
Twenty-five
percent
of
the
assessed
value
of
improvements
are
now
taxed.
The
decision
in
the
Prudhomme
case
will
not
affect
the
rest
of
the
assessment
roll
for
the
present
year,
Mr.
Alder
stated.
made
at
prices
far
below
the
as
sessed
value,
Mr.
Alder
referred
to
Victoria
where
he
had
bought
for
$2,750
a
lot
assessed
at
between
six
seven
thousand
dollars.
In
Oak
Bay
at
the
Uplands
he
had
bought
valuable
residential
lot
for
$1250
which
wai
assessed
at
$3,160.
That
not
mean
that
all
other
lots
in
neighborhood
were
assessed
too
high.
It
simply
meant
that
there
were
people
who
wanted
to
sell
badly
and
that
there
were
no
buyers
at
the
time.
Hopeful
For
Future
The
commissioner
said
he
saw
no
possibility
of
conditions
in
the
city
becoming
worse
than
they
were
to
day
and
he
expected
to
see
them
better.
The
commissioner
admitted
having
given
out
news
from
time
to
time
dealing
with
the
pulp
mill
uroject.
The
articles
were
of
an
op
timistic
nature
and
some
oi
uie
promises
made
in
them
had
not
been
fulfilled.
He
had
simply
passed
on
information
that
was
available.
Copies
of
the
Daily
News
were
put
as
evidence
by
the
appellant.
Percy
Tinker
who
represented
the
Grand
Trunk
Pacific
Develop
ment
Company
and
a
number
of
local
property
owners
gave
evidence
In
favor
of
the
city.
He
said
he
thought
the
assessment
of
$1215
on
the
Savoy
Hoter
lots
was
quite
fair.
John
Dybhavn,
who
with
his
partner
had
purchased

In
the
city
also
supported
the
assessment.
There
