The dividend which we reccomend does not, I am aware, meet with the approval of s me share holders, who are of opinion that the $20,000 sat siside last year for new eleotrie lifts should now be utilised to increase the dividend this half year. But as the oleo tric lifts have not been paid for, your directors do not share that view, and we hope that the general body of shareholders will endorse their recommendations conceraing the saggested appropriation of profits. I shall be pleased to 'naswor any questions.
Mr. PARFITT Whon wa get the new ones they will be an asso worth $20,000. You say the old ones are written off, but I cannot agree with you.
Mr. ARNOLD-Do you anticipate that this diminution of earnings will be permanent, or is it merely temporary?
The CHAIRMAN-It is very diflcult to say. Mr. Arnold; I don't think it will be permanent myself.
Mr. ARNOLD-I think you have been a little premature in reducing the dividend. With regard to the electric lifts not having been paid for, I preazme it makes no difference, it stands on the other side of the scout as cradítod, and has been provided for. So much has really been written off the electric plant so far, and a mach transferred to repairs and ronowals, that I think these accounts could very well afford to wait until it has been shown that this diminution in the openings is permanent or temporary. Therefore, I would suggest that the prouts be appre pristed in this way--that a dividend of 10 per cent, be paid, absorbing $50,000; that only $4,000 be transferred to repairs and renewals; that $629.51 be written off the value of the electric plant; and that $619.89 be carried forward to the new account. Captain CLASS-I have much pleasure in ssconding the amendmaut.
The CHAIRMAN Do I understand you right, Mr. Arnold. That you propose this amendment | because $20,00 set aside last half year for electric lifts now appears on the other side of the account?
Mr. ARNOLD--NC; I lake it that what you set aside last year is really so much written off the electric plant.
Mr. ARNOLD-If so much is set aside for repairs and renewals each year, I should think that they were. Do you mean to say that the lifts stand at their original cost P
Mr. PALPITT I don't say what they stand at Mr. ARNOLD-Aro lifta included in the forniture account?
Mr. FARFITT-In the forniture and fixtures, I think.
Mr. AKXOLD-In previous years. wa havo written large sums off for furniture and Sxtures. M. PARFITT-I am not prepared to say that I was quito correct in my last remark.
Mr. ARNOLD-I could understand if there is to be a permanent diminution we must put up with a reduced dividend. I think we are in rather harry to reduce the dividend; we should wait and see what tho next half year brings forth The total earnings of 1907, I understand, equal the total earnings of 1994.
Mr. CRUICKSHANT-Last year 8172,000 was earned, and in the previous year $184,000, yet you propose to set aside a larger sum for repairs and renewals last year than in the previous year, It seems rather an unequal division. Naturally, the directors have some valid reason for writing. off so much in one year. It occurs to me it would be better to maintain the regularity of our dividend.
Mr. PUTTS-I would like to know how the bar is paying now on the receipts so far?
The CHAIRMAN-The recripts for January and February show about the same falling off per mouth as they have done for the six months of last year
