The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and the Chartered Bank of India, Australia & China, on behalf of the Government of Hong Kong Invite applica- of $1,000, $6,000 and $10,000. Applications tiona for $6,000,000 si ́above in bearer bonds must be for even thousands.
The Loan is secured on the general revenues and assets of Hong Kong and the principal will be repaid by annual drawinga at par on the 15th day of July in each of the twenty five years commencing la 1941 at the annual rate of one twenty-fifth of the Josue which will, therefore, be finally paid off by 1965. Repayment will be made at the Head Office of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Hong Kong, or at the Hong Kong Office of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia and China, on the bonds so drawn being surrendered, Interest cessing on such bonds each 15th July.
Interest will be payable half yearly on the 15th January and 15th July on the surrender of the coupons at the above Officer.
Applications, which must be accompanied by a deposit of $25 per cent., will be received at the Office, of either of the two Banks above mentioned. In the case of partial allotment the balance of the amount paid on application will be applied towards payment of the balance due. If there should be a surplus after making that payment such surplus will be refunded by cheque. If no allotment is made the full amount paid on application will be refunded.
Interest at 4% per annum will be charged on any balance outstanding after 10th July, 1940, and non-payment of the balance by that date may render the deposit previously puld liable to forfeiture and the allotment cancelled.
At a later date allottees will receive bonds with interest coupons attached for the amounts so allelted in exchange for the receipted application and allotment letters.
The proceeds of this issue will be utilised to repay to the Treasury certain moneys advanced from the surplus balances of the Colony for the carrying out of various
public works.
