The Chairman's Speech. The CHAIRMAN said:-It is with deep regret that we have to record the death of the late Sir C. P. Chater last May and the very great loss we have suffered thereby. This Company was floated in 1887 to take aver the business of the Hong Kong and Kowloon Wharf, Godown and Cargo Boat Company and the wharf and godown interests of Messra Jardine, Matheson & Co The former was the development of Sir Paul's interests and entirely due to his initiative and the work he personally undertook in the ear- ly days to satisfy himself as to the suitability of the waterfront for the business he developed. When this Company was formed he became a permanent Director and during the 30 years since its inception he took the keenest interest in its progresa and his services were of the great and his services were of the greatest value to the Company.
