§ Mr. CHARLES BATHURSTasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is necessary, in stating objections to a provisional valuation under the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, to indicate what, in the opinion of the objector, the assessment figures ought to be, or whether, on the analogy of Rule 3 (2) and the Schedule of the Statutory Rules and Orders issued in 1910 in reference to Land Value Duties, it is sufficient to allege against such provisional valuation that the items are excessive or inadequate, as the case may be?
§ Mr. MASTERMANAn owner has under Section 27 (2) of the Act to state the ground of his objection and the amendment he desires. While the Commissioners reserve their right to reject a notice of objection to a provisional valuation on the ground that the amendment desired is not specifically stated, they have in the past accepted notices of the kind indicated in the question, where the progress of the valuation has not been thereby impeded.
