This, when we have acquired the addi- tional piece of land we are in treaty for, will measure some 21 mow. It is situated next to Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's property and has a considerable water frontage, the depth of water at low tide being sufficient to float coasting steamers, The intention is to remove our existing Aerated Water Factory on the Shameen to this site. We originally intended to build a new factory on the Shameen and with that end in view, we purchased Sha- meen lot No. 82 for 843,000, but the expansion of our Canton business has been such that we are convinced that the

Mr. C. B. BROOKE seconded, and can- gratulated the Directors upon their! successful administration and the excel- lent results obtained. The year 1922, he said, was considered a record one for the Company, but it had been eclipsed by the past year.
The CHAIRMAN replied that it was not often that Directors were the recipients of such kind remarks. It was more usual for them to have to listen to hard words instead of kind ones. He was sure that the Directors, staff and all concerned would appreciate the kind words of Mr. Brooke.
The report and statement of accounts were unanimously adopted.
The re-election of Sir Paul Chater, Mr. J. Scott Harston and Mr. H. P. White as Directors was carried by a re solution proposed by the CHAIRMAN ADD seconded by Mr. J. M. ALVES,
