 The
licensee in June 1956 objected to the assessment of £85 per year made by
the Cambridge based Licensed Property Valuer.
In spite of Morgans Brewery advising the licensee and the valuer that they
considered the assessment fair, the objection was pursued.
In November 1956 a Morgans Brewery representative wrote to the valuer in
order to correct `what we feel is a very wrong impression'.
The writer went on to explain that there had been much correspondence
between the licensee ( Mr Cornish ), the Brewery and the Valuer. At no
time had the Brewery supported Mr Cornish in his objections and did not
support his `plea, for what we consider is, an unduly low figure.'
Furthermore they had not encouraged any appeal and in fact had actively
acted to discourage any of their tenants making individual Appeals. The
writer further pointed out that the assessment figure had been negotiated
between the Valuer and the Brewery and Morgans were in no case prepared to
support the tenant if he still wished to pursue the matter.
A Director of Morgans wrote to the valuer on 4th February 1957 saying that
their tenant appeared to be extremely obstinate. |
