Municipal Council, to H.B.M. Consul-General, Shanghai, dated April 20th, 1934.

12 END

sir,

J.M. Santos (deceased) Cemeteries Account No.2/63

$34.96.

In reply to your letter dated March 10, in

reference to the above-mentioned a ccount, I am

directed to inform you that since the deceased was

a native of Hongkong, it would seem that the charge

for burial expenses should be paid by the Government

concerned, and cannot be considered as a proper

charge on the Shanghai Municipal Council.

I am,

sir,

Your obedient servant,

(sd) V.H. Bourne,

Deputy Treasurer

-

Revenue.
