This fraternity is a tenant of Fraternity <br /> Housing Corporation, the owner of real property located at the above <br /> address. <br /> In the past (at least years 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979) <br /> Fraternity Housing Corporation has filed its property tax assessment <br /> form each January with the notation "we have no personal property. " <br /> Fraternity Housing Corporation paid taxes in 1979 based on an assess- <br /> ment of $76,000 for building and property.

Having heard no complaint, the amount was doubled <br /> in 1980 to reach a personal property assessment of $30,400, The fact <br /> is that the personal property of Kappa Alpha Order has a valuation of <br /> only $2,000.00! <br /> We respectfully regllest a_re-evaluation_of_the personal property <br /> of Kappa Alpha"Order and a 1.9.aa_tax bilL.in_accordance.with :Eh& ad- <br /> curate evThtTö <br /> Since at no time in the history of Kappa Alpha Order has the per- <br /> sonal property had a value in excess of $4,000,222_E9uest..a credit <br /> for future years ,for, the_amoun.t_of taxes oaia_for the years,, IT74 ;- <br /> through 1979 which is in excess_of a, $4,000 evaluation. <br /> , 4 <br /> Your consideration of the matter is greatly appreciated by all of <br /> the members of Kappa Alpha Order and Kappa Alpha Order Alumni <br /> Corporation.
