sir.
HONG KONG..
24th. November, 1938.
i.e. enclos!
177/179 Wanchai Road,
<
Relative to our conversation on the assessment of this
property, I beg to remind you that the building was assessed
for the year 1st.July 30th. June 1939 at $4,800 by document
dated 5th. April, 1938 and issued from the Assessor's Office.
Under the circumstances I cannot understand why the
assessment has been increased to $21,800 within the period
already mentioned and unless the original figure is reverted
to, there is no alternative but to appeal to His Excellency,
the Governor in Council on what is in my estimation, an
arbitrary calculation.
As already pointed out, the original building has not
been extended in any form.
Yours faithfully,
HAW PAR BROTHERS LTD.
(sa) Ip Kwai Chung.
Attorney.
