Taxation Measures

Criticised

A further reduction in charges for electric-con- sumption as from April 1, 1947, was announ- ced at the 56th ordinary yearly meeting of the Hong Kong Electric Co., Ltd., held at the Com- pany's offices yesterday. The new rates are 45 cents a unit for lighting and 153 cents for power, as against the existing rates of 48 cents and 163 cents respectively.

The Company 'made a net profit of nearly three million dollars for the period under review- Sept. 1, 1945 to Dec. 31, 1946. wiping off the debit balance standing at Profit and Loss Ac- count and leaving $746,568:16. The Directors' decision to set aside seven lakhs out of this balance for Contingencies was opposed by a shareholder, Mr. J. H. Seth, who said share- holders expected a dividend of at least 50 cents a share to be paid. His proposal was, however, not supported. Government's taxation Prak, all of Apllchan, Bhek 0, ang An Kong Nam Village are still without miere came in for the fees and we can only await the delivery of tender rallen pomnikiz bower!s criticism from the Chair.nd of this year, before the supply It was considered unfair fully reduced.
