Kaslo, B. C.
Dear Madam:
We are in receipt of your letter of May 11, 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.
We note your inquiry as to how we arrived at the credit balance of $16.15 in our statement to you. The proportion of rent collected to your credit until December 31, 1942 amounted to $167.00 representing six and two-third months at $25.00 per month. This sum was credited to your account and the following are payments made on your behalf from this amount:
|
A. Wallace |
$60.00 |
|
5% Collection Fee |
8.35 |
|
Repairs |
41.23 |
|
1942 Taxes |
41.27 |
This leaves the balance of $16.15 to which you refer and we trust that the above explains the matter to your satisfaction.
Yours truly,
W. E. Anderson,
Farm Department.
