You will observe that the directors recommend to witte off two lakhs of dollars, value of the Xfuktang and depreciation of other boats. It is now some years since this deprecia tion fund was drawn upon for writing down any | of the steamers. The Kiukiang is a very old boat, and has done god service, but the time has now arrived to recognise that she cannot be of any further use.. Lying idle in the harbour, she is only a source of expense to us, and it is proposed to sell her, and whatever she may realise will be passed to the credit of the depreciation fund. On the other steamers, large sums have been spent on repairs, and the amount proposed to be written off their book value seems to be amply sufficient.
