§ Mr. GreenTwenty new dwellings of which the valuation officer has been notified by the Caerphilly Urban District Council are awaiting valuation. The information available to the valuation officer does not in general indicate the date on which a house was first occupied, but the average period between notification by the council and valuation is two months.
