TREASURY.

sir,

I attach herewith cheque for $1544.17 in payment of

Rates Notice (Interim Assessment), from Nov. '38 Mar. '39, in

respect of 177 - 179, Wanchai Road.

If is to be noted that this payment is made under

protest as representations are being made to His Excellency, the

Governer in Council on what is considered to be, the excessive

and arbitrary nature of the sum involved.

Yours faithfully,

HAW PAR BROTHERS LTD.

(mà) Ip Kwai Chung.

Attorney.
