The telephone subscription rates in the Colony are the lowest in the world and it may be of interest to you to know, that the present subscrip- tion rate is only 50 per cent higher than the pre-war charge, in spite of the fact that expenditures are three times higher said Mr W. A. Stewart (Chairman) at the annual general meeting this morning of the Hongkong Telephone Company Ltd..

Payment of a dividend of $1.20 (free of tax) on "Old Shares" and a dividend of $0.30 (free of tax) on "New Shares" was approved.
