with reference to your letter No. 487 dated 6th.
September 1929, I have the honour to inform you that the
claim made by your Section for the suspension of tra fie
from 1928 to date have already been referred to the Ministry
of Railways for consideration as you are aware that any
claims for suspension of tra fie involved as caused through
Political disturbances, is a matter of settlement between
tne two respøetiye Governments and this Section cannot
accept liability in the circumstances therefore.
With regard to the hire of Rolling Stock amounts
to $5,354.79 this matter is being left in abeyance until
after farther consultation with Er. Stratton on his return
from furlough.
Under the circumstances, I shall be glad if you
will kindly reconsider the matter and send us a cheque for
$20,000.00 in due course to meet the argent payments of this
Section.
I have
(SIOBEJ( 0.0. Lân,
Manager Director.
