HONGKONG DEVELOPMENT BUILD. ING & SAVINGS SOC., LTD.

The 37th Ordinary General meeting of the shareholders of the Hongkong Development Building Lod Savings Bocivty, Ltd., took place on Saturdas āt noon in the City Hall

Alr. Fred Ells, Managing Director, presiding over a large attendance of shareholders, satel

The report and statement of accounts having been in your hands for some days I will, with your permission. adopt the usual course and take them as read. I would mention, however, that there is a sum of 8400 for auditors fees which must be deducted from the balance shown, leaving an amount of $14,393.04 to be carried forward.

I would like to emphasize that the proit shown has been derived solely from the finance department of the Society and that when the work of pro- perty development and building (which is our main object) is properly in swing. we can of course look for far, higher re turns. I would also remind you that wo

nino are only reviewing practically a month period. About one third of this time was occupied in the work of organization.

The average profit per month now is approximately one third greater than the average per month for the period cover- ed by the report, whereas expenditure. remains about the same. I have pleasure in LaBouncing that your Directors, ot desiring to unduly burden the Society in the first year of its work: ing and appreciating the difficulties en- countered, have decided to waive their fees for the period under review, and the thanks of shareholders are due to them for this act of generosity.

DEVELOPMENT WORK:

This has been unfortunately delayed arising out of incompetence of the first Architect who, had the work in hand. But am glad that I am now in la posi tion to inform you that an elaborate and detailed survey of the property below Jardine's Lock-Out is near completion and that the E.K.E. & P.D. Co., by
