Mr. Coughtric moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried by acclamation. The Chairman briefly acknowledged the honour, saying that he was very thankful the shareholders approved of his conduct. All he could say was that he had done his utmost to deserve it, and should continue working to the best of his ablilty in order to ensure the welfare of the Company.
The report of M. Durand, which is too long for publication fragtenso, is to the following effect :--
The exploitation of the Company's property has shown such valuable resources that the preliminary work, installation of plant, etc., had to be an a larger scale than at first intended. This accounts for the delay in achieving practical results. During this year coal will be extracted from the Nagotna mine, and early next year, the great wharf and Haton railway will be finished.

I could have wished that our Chairman had made some reference to the opinions I have persistently expressed at the last three board meetings in favour of immediate reform, instead of diverting your attention by complaints about the mere details of how much money we have received from the Hongkong Trading Co. during the year. Gentlemen, it is the failing off in profits that needs looking into; all other matters are comparatively of less importance. We have vained about $4,000 by better exchange rates this year, but against this advantage may be Brewery premises, double rentals and nearly double staff, together with all the expenses of removal, &c., which has certainly absorbed more than the $4.000 exchange benefit,

The Chairman read the following report: REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. This time again we could hardly present any thing but accounts of expenses and in fact it could scarcely be otherwise if you will consider that we are deeply engaged with the execution achleverrent of ourorganisation on which depends to a great extent the future of our company. Since the report which we had the honour of presenting to you at our last ordinary meeting
of May 1890 these works have a very considerable extent and if nothing comes across their regular progress they will soon lead us towards the period of production so ardently desired by all of us and expected by you with a patience which, I hasten to say, has proved a source of strength to us. As a matter of fact, yielding to the numerous requests which have been made to us we might have already pro- ceeded with the sale of our coal, as it was being produced, but, on the other hand the difficulties of communication with the port of Hongay would have prevented us from making such sales in a continuous way or to a large extent and thus was certainly proper to wait in patience and to take of all the necessary steps in order to overcome these difficultles-on' the other hand, strong in the feeling of your approval we did not care to put our production on the market before being certain that it was of good quality.. This point is now settled and the trials made admit of the hope that our combustible may face A competition with other produce.
