Mr. Shigeki NISHIOKA,
Registration No. 12623,

Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Dear Sir:

We are in receipt of your letter of May 23, 1944.

Your remarks have been carefully read and we can appreciate that the disposal of your property will be a matter of personal concern. However, the sale of properties to the Director, The Veterans' Land Act was carried out as a part of a policy of liquidation outlined by Ottawa on the basis of appraised values.

Your letter has been placed upon our files so that your comments in regard to this sale will remain on record but we can only advise you that we are unable to consider any alternative in regard to this matter.

Please be advised that your chicken equipment and chattels were not included in the sale price of property but will be liquidated according to policy by sale through public auction in due course. However, the results have been very satisfactory so far and when sold the proceeds will be credited to your account.

Yours truly,

W. E. Anderson,
Farm Department.
