We find that the Assessor & Collector had informed the petitioner that the building was not exempt from the general tax because the building was not being used for a charitable purpose. This information is contained in two letters dated 6-10-1983 and 14-3-84 issued by the Assistant Assessor and Collector and Joint Assessor and Collector, M.C.D.
