You will see that the value of your fleet has been reduced by $18,050 being the proceeds of the sale.of one old boat which figure is well in excess of book value. On this occasion seeing that the older boats of the fleet stand at figures approximating their values for breaking up purposes, it has not been necessary to allow so heavily for depreciation, but to offset this] maintenance costs are far higher and for this purpose it is proposed: to allocate $10,000 to meet cont of special overhauls during the coming year.
