Exchequer Court Will Decide Value of Porcupine Mountain

OTTAWA (CP) -- How much would you pay for a mountain of rock-05,500 or 31,100,000?

That will be the question before the Exchequer Court of Canada today when it takes up the claim of Lt.-Gov. Alistair Fraser of Nova Scotia.

The 70-year-old Queen's repre- sentative, appearing as I private person, is demanding the federal government pay him 31,100,000 for the 10,000,000 tons of granite rock it took off his Maritime prop- erty to build the Canso causeway. The government claims the prop- erty is worth 35.500.

Crux of the unusual legal battle between the provincial lieutenant governor and the federal,Idmln- istration is I piece of hilly. hnrren land that has been in the Fraser family for at least two genera lions.

ORIGINALLY CROWN LAND

Mr. Fraser's father received the land from the crown in 1885. The government says he got it by merely payin 326 in registration fees. But Mr. rsser says the fam ily hns been paying taxes on it ever since.

Without consulting with Mr. Fraser, the government estimated the land worth about 35.500-.at :50 an acre. Mr. Fraser protested.

"My only recourse was through the courts," he said Tuesday in In interview here. "That was the last thing I wanted to do."

He originally dem nded 35.000.- 000 on the basis- government had access to 125,000,000 tons of granite. But when the govern- ment used only 10,000,000 and re turned to him all the land except the 12.8 acres used, he reduced his action to 31,100,000, estimat- ing the rock was worth at least 10 cents I ton.
