The mayor reports taht those in the community -opposed to the Henry George Ideas : are Vary few, so few as to1 be lnconsequental. ; 1 The entire argument at" Vancouver wbb based bh the' fact that the as sessors taxed one building high, an other low, and that it had never been possible to 'adjust the building tax so that one man did hot pay too much, another not1 enough. The mayor and offlcevs Interested In their report tnajntalned that taxa tion on land values was adjusted to nicety and without friction. The council concluded that ; ; to 1ax . im provements Is to tax and discourage Industry. In answer to the argument that an office building; being a rcve iiune producer, ; should not eBoai'ie taxation while a "vacant lot next to . It bore the burden. It waa suld that the proximity of the office building j increased ine vaiue or the lami next to It. whereupon the tax on the land discouraged speculative values and the holding of vacant lots.
