Referring to the developments which are being carried out at the port, Lord Kylsant, at the annual meeting of the London and Thames Haven Oil Wharves, Ltd, stated that the petroleum storage depot is situated at the mouth of the River Seine in the port of Havre, and through this river 60 per cent. of the petroleum trade of France passes, so that they are in the most important part of France to deal with this matter.

"In its installation and equip. ment full advantage has been taken of the long and 'extensive experience we have gained at Thames Haven, and I look for ward to the time when the Havre

Sergt. Barnicle gaid the police searched the luggage of all the discharged men as they left the ship. They had instruction to search for other things besides arms. However, the police would not press this charge against the accused and would be satisfied with a nominal fine.

Dwindling Reserves.

The reserve fund, which stood at £250,000 at the end of 1923, has now been reduced by a suc cession of marine losses to £25,- 000, and the auditors continue to state that their certificate to the balance-sheet is "subject to the adequacy of the reserves available for unexpired risks,”·

For the first time in 41 years the company, which was formed in 1871, announces no dividend on its capital. For 1925 the divi- dend was 11 per cent.

In its report issued recently, the Employers' Liability stated that it bad

written down the value of its Merchants' Marine shares by a further £100,000. They now stand at £250,000, At the end of 1921 they stood at $700,000. The amount paid up! on the shares is, £125,000.

The Employers' which controls also the Clerical, Medical and General Life, has agreed to guarantee all policies issued by the Merchants' Marine Insurance Company after the end of last month.

""There is little doubt that when this work is completed. which we hope it will be in the first half of next year, Havre will be one of the most important and finest ports in Northern France. Its geographical position, as the nearest and most convenient port for Paris, will probably prove an attraction to many of the great ocean liners which cater for first- class Continental passenger traffic, and induce them to utilise Havre for embarking and landing passengers."

"Superior to Southampton." Mr. T. C. J. Burgess, joint managing director of the London and Thameshaven Oil Wharves, Ltd., made a statement in the following terms:
