This demand is based on the value of taxable<br>\nproperties and the presidential decree on land appropriation, he<br>\nsaid.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute over land compensation arose after PT Pelindo II<br>\nannounced last year it would appropriate 90 hectares of the land<br>\ninhabited by 9,037 families (almost 40,000 people.) The company<br>\nplans to build a new cargo terminal expansion project in a joint-<br>\nventure with PT Humpuss. The new terminal, built at a cost of<br>\nUS$498-million, is expected to start operations in October 1998.<\/p>\n<p>After a number of sessions failed to reach an agreement, North<br>\nJakarta Mayor Soeprawito decided to break the deadlock by<br>\noffering between Rp 100,000 (US$46.8) and Rp 160,000 ($75) per<br>\nsquare meter, Rp 10,000 higher than the rate set by PT Pelindo<br>\nII. This offer, however, was rejected by the residents. (yns)<\/p>",
