War Cuts Heavily Into Profits Big Test Coming For Of H.K. Land Investment Co. Lend and Lease Bill
Although a decrease in profits of nearly three lakhs as compared with last year was reported at the fifty-third general meeting of the Hongkong Land Invest- ment and Agency Company, Ltd, held in the Boardroom of Messrs Jardine, Matheson and Co, Ltd, at noon to-day, the Chairman, the Hon. Mr J. J. Paterson, said that the actual property business of the Company was on the increase.
The difference in profits, heexplained, was made up by four items fewer property sales, War Taxation, a donation to the S. C. M. Post War Fund, and a drop in the profit from the Gloucester Hotel,
