CASEBOOK
Budget Revision

During 1956, there was a welcome increase in the THE brothers had spent number of ocean-going vessels entering Hongkong and an in- crease of more than 10 per cent in the cargo handled, said Mr H. D. M. Barton, Chairman of Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co. Ltd.
He said this at the annual meeting of the Company at Alexandra House this afternoon.
The increase, Mr Barton continued, was reflected in the work of the Company, and the number of ships handled by the Company increased by 14 per cent, the figures being 1,137 for 1965 and 1,299 for 1956.
The improvement was all the 1 more encouraging when it was remembered that the long awalted easing of the restric- tions on tande with China failed to materialise during the year under review.
An encouraging feature of the operations was the increased proportion of the cargo which wag handled at the Kowloon Wharf, the sotal
tonnage for 1950 being 23 per cent higher than the total for 1855.
