The statement of accounts was then presented and passed by the members present.
THE HELP RENDERED The President expressed regret that the results of the year were not as good as had been hoped, nevertheless the rooms had been a centre of social intercourse for the members and it was the generous treatment of the Hong Kong, Lands and some individual friends of the Association that had diverted some of the burden of the finance from the shoulders of the members."
