We are instructed by M. Olen Kare Jong (48) trading under the style of Không Khung Chung Bắc (the Registered Tenant of Law No 2 of the Western Market) to communicate the following matter.
On the 25th of November 1869 Sulfit Hime and Chun Kan Iong obtained permission from the Registrar General to carry on business at the above-mentioned place on payment of a rent to the Government of $20 per mensem, which sum has been regularly paid up to the present time.
In the month of August last, Sulfit Hime died in China, leaving Chu Haus Song the sole proprietor and owner of the business, which for the last 10 years he has been managing. The license continued to Mr. Chunkaus Jong, but in October last, it was recalled.
On the 9th instant, our client was verbally informed by the Registrar General that it was the intention of the Government to resume and take possession of the premises under a new License, on the ground that Sulfit Hime had died and that it was necessary to relet the premises.
Notices for Tenders have been issued by the Registrar General with a view to disposing of the premises.
