meeting of the Oriental Telephone and The thirty-seventh ordinary general Electric Co., Ltd., was held on May 12 at the Great Eastern Hotel, E.C.
Sir A. Honry McMahon, G.Ċ.M.G,, G.C.V.O., K.G.LE., C.S.I., etc. (chair- man of the company), preskled, and in the course of his speech said the net result of the year's working was
slight incrensa in the company's net revenue from £99,621 to £100,001 and with the carry forward from last year added, there was a balance of £110,302 available for disposal, after payment of the usual interim dividenda na against a corresponding amount of £104,530 for 1020. Out of this they proposed to pay final dividends for the year of 3% per cent. lesa tax, un the Preference shares, and 8 per cent, free of tax, on the Ordinary to place $16,000 to general reserve shares, which required £52,223 12
£43,148 184.,.or £3,301 17s. 11d. more and to entry forward the balance of than last year.
Having dealt with, the principal Items in the balance sheet, the chair. man wont on to refer to the working of the company's branches at Singa- pore and Mauritius and to their sub- sidiary and associated companies In India and Hongkong. The branch at Singapore, he "said," showed a drop both in gross revenue and in the num ber of exchange lines connected, but the charges on the revenue there had been appreciably less, so that the net result. for the year showed an im provement. Conditions throughout that period had been most unfavour- able, and, an they probably knew, the i prices of the two commodities in which Singapore was chiefly interested- namely, tin and rubber-had touched records in the matter of low prices, G.
The automatic system con tinued to work well anil to give satis- faction to their subscribers, and the cost of the change had fully justified itself from the point of view both of the public and of the company. The Singapore Staff Housing Schome had been completed during the year, and had proved a great boon to the mem bera of their European atauť.

Hongkong Telephone Co. The Hongkong Telephone Co. con Linued to make excellent progress, | substantial additions to the number of subscribers and to the net revenues being recorded. Their divklend had been increased from 8 per cent. to 10 per cent, but, owing to the deprocla tion in the value of the dollar, the sterling equivalent received in London was actually less than in the year be fore. In view of this, the China and Japan company had limited its divid end this year to 12 per cent, as against 16 per cent. for last year, which meant diminution of some £1,200 in the revenue from that source. The work of installing a trunk-line cable be tween Hongkong and Canton was well under way, and speech between these would soon become possible. two important and closely allied cities
