Dear Sir:

Re: South side River Road, Sunbury, B.C.
Mun. [municipality] of Delta, Lot 4 of part of a 30 acre portion of Lot 131,
Group 2, Map 6284, Dis. [district] of New Westminster, C. of E. [corner of east] 50707

You have previously been advised that a sale of lands in rural districts was entered into between this Department and The Director, The Veterans' Land Act.

Due to the size of this transaction, the arrangements for same and the completion of the transfer have taken considerable time. Negotiations were started in the early part of 1943 and were based upon valuations made by qualified appraisers and on the basis of a sale effective as at January 1st of that year. This means that the 1943 revenues from the property were for the benefit of the purchasers, but that taxes, fire insurance and other operating charges were assumed by them.

The following statement showing the sale price and adjustments:


Sale Price of above described property.....................................

$1,931.00


Add:



Unexpired insurance premium as at January 1st, 1943 ..................

Yours truly,

F. G. SHEARS,
Director.
