4. It is difficult to understand that the period of appeal has
elapsed, since the interim assessment is for a period ending June 30th.
1939, and the appeal to H..the Governor bears date of 30th.January
1939.
Ten days is inadequate especially in this instance, as the work on
the building was incomplete and the architects figures were not
available until October 31st.1938 when Form 1 was completed and
returned to the Assessor's Office on November 1st.1938. To have
submitted figures which were not representative of actual expenditure
would have incurred the penalties set forth on Form 1.
5. Your petitioner humbly maintains that less costly and
cumbersome machinery be set in motion for the purpose of redressing
grievances similar to those set forth in my letters of
24th. November 1938
30th. January 1939.
Under the circumstances, I have the honour to request that the
Official Forms and the correspondence on both sides relating to this
matter, be submitted to H.B.k.Secretary of State for the Colonies for
further consideration, and for which purpose I respectfully submit
the necessary six copies.
I have the honour to be
Sir,
Your obedient servant,
