Thomas R. Dun-kin of Cornwall. Mr.

Dunkiri, according to the recorded minute of judgment, deducted $350 for depreciation In his 1946 tax return on a property he valued at 117,000. In checking the tax return the minister, (through departmental officials), reduced the estimated value of the property to $7,100, which is perm la sable under the Income Tax Act- The appellant claimed the minister had erred In the Pf hl discretion. The department produced an affidavit signed by Mr. Dunkln 1940 which Indicated the value of the property in question at $6,100 for succession duty purposedThe Judgment continues: Therefore, If the value of $6,100 given the property by the appellant In his affidavit of December, 1940, was correct, he cannot complain now when the minister determines the value at $7,100, a higher value even than he himself gave It; If on the other hand the appellant did not indicate the true value, in his affidavit, he has only himself to blame and should suiter the consequences of an Incorrect affidavit-- The minute of Judgment goes on to explain that for taxation purposes; the does not consider the replacement value of a but the price that was paid for the property In money or Its equivalent It Is on this money basis. It Is set forth, that depreciation may -be calculated The Appeal Board declined to uphold the appellant's contention that because the department had accepted the- $17,000 Value for the taxation years.

1941, 1942 and 1943, they should also have accepted it for 1948. -Not did. It consider as relevant testimony that replacement value of the property was $17,000. The judgment was handed down by Fa bio Monet and concurred in by R. T.
