The liquidation proceeded and the property of the company, consisting of certain land in Chinkiang, was "sold, and, there being no creditors, the proceeds after payment of expenses, were divided amongst the shareholders. By the bogin ning of December, 1921, the affairs of the company were fully wound up and the manner in which the liquidation had been conducted was duly approved at a meeting held on December 31st, It was. not, however, possible to file the final account and call a formal meeting in pursuance of Clause 188 of the Companies The British agree to withdraw their Ordinance 1811, for the following reasons: naval and military forces; the receipts owing to an error or misunderstanding on of the Customs in this area, after the the part of the manager of Messrs. deduction of reasonable expenses, shall Atkinson Dallas Ltd., in Hankow cer- be used for municipal improvement for atain trust properties in Hankow were period of ten years; the British will registered in the name of the Yangtze. return to China without compensation Land Co., Ltd., instead of in the namo THE RED BUILDING (OPPOSITE ICE HOUSE ST. the wharf and recreation ground; the of Atkinson & Dallas, Ltd., who were holding these properties as trustées.
