Wells,\nChief Commissioner of Lands and Works, Victoria, B. G.\nSir,\u2014We, the undersigned, Dyking Commissioners appointed by Order in Council on the\n15th day of October last, to classify and value the lands embraced in the Maple Ridge,\nCoquitlam, Pitt Meadows (north of Lillooet), Matsqui and Sumas Dyking Districts, have the\nhonour to report as follows :\u2014\nFollowing your subsequent instructions, we confined ourselves to the Maple Ridge,\nCoquitlam and Pitt Meadows (north of Lillooet). We went over all the boundaries of each\nquarter-section, or parts thereof, included in the Maple Ridge and Coquitlam District. If\nboundary posts were not to be found, we, with the assistance of one chainman, ran the lines\nand established sufficiently accurate boundaries for the purpose of this valuation. We then\nexamined both the surface and sub-soil; in fact, made a thorough and very careful inspection.\nIn this classification and valuation we took into consideration quality of soil, situation and\nfacilities of drainage, water, roads, improvements, cost of clearing, etc., etc. We have classified the lands into four grades, as follows :\u2014\n1st Class, Grade A.\u2014Land of good quality, with little or no clearing to be done.\n1st Class, Grade B.\u2014Land of good quality, with medium to comparatively heavy timber.\n2nd Class, Grade A.\u2014Land of poorer quality, with little or no clearing to be done.\n2nd Class, Grade B.\u2014Land of poorer quality, with medium to comparatively heavy timber. 2 Ed. 7. Commission re Dyking Matters. 869\nThis system we adopted throughout, as being an equitable one, but we have adjusted the\nclass under which certain lands would come, where situation or other special conditions\nwarranted any particular block being placed in the class higher or lower than the one under\nwhich it would naturally come.\nIn this connection we may say that in the Maple Ridge Districts there is a fairly well\ndefined line of demarcation between lands of different grade, but in the Coquitlam District\nthis line is not by any means so well defined, the gradation from the highest grade of land to\nthat of a poorer quality being in many cases very gradual, and without a close examination\nof the sub-soil it would in several instances be impossible to tell any difference.\nWe wish to place on record our thanks to many of the settlers, in both the Maple Ridge\nand Coquitlam Districts, for the assistance and time which they gave us, and which was of\ngreat help in connection with this classification.\nWith reference to the valuations, we would say that values are at all times largely a\nquestion of individual opinion, and at the present time, owing to the exceptional circumstances\nin which these lands are placed, it is impossible to sell any of them at prices at all commensurate with what we consider is their real value. We refer more particularly to the uncertainty as to the title, owing to the large accumulated arrears of interest, and to the uncertainty\nas to what course the Government is going to take.\nWe have accordingly been guided by the Assessment Act, chapter 179, section 40, where\nit says that \" Property shall be estimated at its actual cash value, as it would be appraised in\npayment of a just debt from a solvent debtor\"; the basis value of first-class lands being estimated at a figure which we consider it is worth (assuming this question of title was settled),\ncleared and ready for the plough, except draining, allowances and deductions being made for\nexceptionally good or bad situation, as regards roads, water front,, etc., and facilities for\ndrainage. The cost of clearing has also been carefully gone into and deductions made in\naccordance with the amount of timber on each separate parcel of land.\nEach of these several things has been allowed for, item by item, as regards each parcel of\nland separately; and this system has been adopted throughout with reference to all classes of\nland, as being the only equitable one to follow.\nValues are based on the assumption that there is no indebtedness, and are values of the\nland, not of equities. The values are also based on the condition of the dyking works as they\nare to-day, assuming that should it be found that further expenditure is necessary to put the\nworks in a thorough state of efficiency, that this would be done, and that any further costs\nwill be borne by the lands affected. If any arrangement is carried out by which the owners\nretain any portion of their lands, as these portions would be clear of any indebtedness, they\nwould easily be able to carry such small additional expenditure as might from time to time be\nrequired.\nIn the Maple Ridge District there is an area of 1,899 acres included in the dyked district,\nwhich is held by the B. C. Dyking and Drainage Co., under an agreement with the Dominion\nGovernment. These lands have not yet been deeded to the Company, and are not included in\nthe assessed area. We have, however, classified and valued them on the same basis as the rest\nof the Maple Ridge lands, as there is no doubt that in the near future these lands will be deeded\nand will then become liable for assessment.\nAll our figures and estimates are based on the idea that this will shortly be done, and we\nwould point out that when it is done it will materially reduce the annual maintenance charges\nper acre on the lands in this District (Maple Ridge).\nAs regards the Pitt Meadows (north of Lillooet) District, we inspected these lands as a\nwhole, but did not classify or value them in detail, for the reason that, on account of their\npresent almost inaccessible position, we could not value them, at the most, higher than the\ndyking charges against them; we therefore, as we wrote you, decided to await further instructions before going into what seemed useless expense in making these valuations.\nAlmost all of these lands, comprising 2,240 acres, are first-class lands, with little if any\nclearing to be done.\nWe have attached hereto the schedule of our classification and valuations of the Maple\nRidge and Coquitlam lands; all of which is respectfully submitted.\nWe have, etc.,\n(Signed)        T.
