Aker the notice convening the meeting had been read, the Chair- man said:-Gentlemen-The first): business before us. is to consider, and if thought it, approve the Drak New Articles, which are submitted to the Meeting. Our present. Articles of Association, were drawn up in 1889 when the Company was formed, and with the exception of an alteration in |the Capital of the Company in. 1599, have not been amended in any way. To meet present day requirements, and to bring them into line with the Hongkong Companies Ordinances, it is necessary that they should be brought up to date. The Solicitors of the Company have gone carefully into them. and the Draft Articles now sabmined are on similar lines to what other Companies operating here and at Home have adopted recently. The Circular dared January 13 draws your attention to the principal variations, and I do not think there is anything that can be usefully added to it.
I therefore propose, as an Extra- ordinary Resolution, that the Draft Articles now submitted to the meeting be approved.
Seconded by Hon. Sir P. Chster, C.M.G.. and carried unanimously.
