THE PAST YEAR'S WORKING,

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11tн, 1913.

An Ordinary General Meeting of the members of the Pekin Byndicato (Limited) was held last month at the Cannon-street Hotel, M. René de Cérenvillie being voted to the chair in the unavoidable absence of Sir Richard D. Awdry, K.C.B. (the chairman of the company).

The Secretary (Mr. Thomas Gilbert) having read the notice convening the meeting and the auditurs' report,

The Chairman said,-Gentlemen, you will, I know, readily join in the regret of myself and my colleagues in the board that on esteemed clairman, Sir Richard Awdry, is unable through illness to take the Sir Richard chair at today's meeting. takes the keenest interest in the problems which we have had to face in the past, and shall have to face in the future, anch we all hope we shall soon see him fally: restored to health and ready again to help as with his wide knowledge and ex- perience of human affairs (Hear, hear.)

WESTERN INFLUENCE IN THE EAST.

"The Purpose of Life in the East and in the West was the subject of a lecture delivered as a meeting of the Royal Colo- November 20 by Sir Bampfylde Fuller, formerly Governor of Eastern Bengal. Chairman of the Council of the Institute, Lieut. General Sir J. Bevan Edwards, presided.

4 Shaft had been sunk at a moderate ex-ness done and all other available informa-nial Institate at the Whitehall Rooms on pense. It gave us an important part of our total extraction, but the coal of that region being of an inferior quality, this accident has not reduced our profits as much

as it has diminished our production. It is, I think, under these circumstances, net unsatisfactory to learn that, apart from the temporarily abandoned pit, 32,000 tons of coal were obtained in October and 34,700 tons in November, and that the output for the year, as estimated by our engineer-in-chief on the spot, may still be anticipated to reach from 450,000 to 500,000 tons.

Mr. Rigby seconded the proposal. The Chairman replied that he was quite willing to consult his colleagues upon the suggestion that had been made, but he could not give a definite answer at the moment. He declined to put the question to the vote.

Mr. Perks afterwards moved a resola- tion for reducing the directors' fees by one half.

The Solicitor (Sir Frank Crisp) stated that such a motion could not be proposed without giving previous notice.

The Chairman then put the original resolution, and it was carried with one dissentient, Mr. Perks.

The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected, and the meeting closed with a vote of thanks to the chairan.

Your directors do not propose that any dividend should be paid. The reason that actuated the directors in dealing with the 1910-11 period still applies to the year 1911-12. In my opinion a company which has kept a realizable capital of one million pounds is fully entitled to recommend to a conservative its shareholders to follow policy and to keep its resources untouched for a favourable future. Therefore your directors content themselves in mending that the credit balance of last HOW MUCH DO YOU LIVE? year and the amount appearing in this year's profit and loss account, making together £440,443 4s, 9d., should be carried forward to the nest account.
