lia. a. c. 



According to the estimate, the area of unbuilt ~ "~ "~ 



on land now subject to the land tax is .... 50,982,393.65.80 



From which must be subtracted 338,599.61.18 



or areas dependent on buildings to which, in 



accordance with the provisions of the law of 



December 26th., 1908, no value was assigned, 



leaving an area of 50,643,794.04.62 



frs. 



with a total rental value of 2,084,631,537 



and a market price of 62,793,054,323 



frs. 



The average rental value per ha., for the whole ~ 



of France was thus 41 



and the average market price per ha 1,240 



The averages for the departments, of course, vary appreciably. The 

 highest are found in the Department of Seine, where the conditions are 

 quite special. Thus, in the following pages, we shall leave the Depart- 

 ment of Seine out of consideration. 



As regards the other departments, the lowest rental value is reported 

 for Basses- Alpes and Hautes-Alpes (7 fr.) and Corsica (8 fr.).
