TREASURY NOTICE.

The Rating Ordinance, 1888.

The Valuation Lists for Victoria and The Hill District for 1890-91 are open to inspection at the Treasury for twenty-one days commencing from Monday, 5th May. Extracts may be taken.

This Valuation will be in force from July 1st, 1890 to June 30th, 1891.

The last day for appeal to the SUPREME COURT will be May 24th. Besides lodging a formal appeal in the Court, notice stating the grounds of such appeal must also be sent to the Assessor on or before that date.

The Valuation Lists for Kowloon and the Villages will be open to inspection later on, of which due notice will be given.

Where the Valuation of any Tenement has been altered from that now in force, the Assessor has sent notice of such change to the Owner, if his address is known, or if not, to the Occupier, with a request that he will hand the same to the Owner. The omission to serve such notice does not invalidate the Rate, or form any excuse for not appealing against any Assessment within the prescribed time, viz., May 5th to May 24th, 1890. All Owners or Occupiers interested in rateable property should therefore inspect the Rate Book within this period.

Treasury, Hongkong, 1st May, 1890.

ARTHUR CHAPMAN,

Assessor.
