THE EFFECT OF THE WAR ON LOCAL SALES OF WATER TO SHIPS WAS MENTIONED BY MR. STANLEY H. DODWELL, CHAIR- MAN, AT THE ANNUAL MEETING TO-DAY OF THE UNION WATER- | BOAT COMPANY, LTD.

Mr. Dodwell, who was supported by. Messrs. A. L. Shields, H. V. Wilkinson, and Y. Yazima, directors, and Mr. A. C. I. Bowker, secretary, said:-

Water, sales are 5,898 tons less than in 1938, and this is due to the outbreak of war, which has resulted in fewer ships making use of this port. Up to the end of August our average dally sales were higher than the previous year.

The profit on working is $61,044.52, some $2,100 above the figure shown for 1938. This is offset by a decrease in the interest account of about $1,950, and dividends on investment of about $700, giving us a nett decrease of $540,23 as compared with the pre- vious year. You will observe a big increase in the depreciation figure shown, which is higher by some $7,- 200 than last year. Our auditors have revised the schedule, and the entire fleet has now been depreciated on the basis of 4%, whereas previously wa--- terboats Nos. 7 and 9 were depreciat- ed on the basis of 22%. This gives: us a difference of $2,600, and the new waterboat No. 4 is responsible for the balance of $4,000.
