I now propose the following

"That the Report and Accounts as presented, including the pay ment of a dividend of $43 per share, an addition of $247.499.68 "to Sterling Reserve, of $100,000 to Silver Reserve, the transfer of £4,768-18-10-847,008.70, to the cra- dit of the Reinsurance Fund, and the payment to the Staff of 15 per cent, upon their salaries, be adopted and passed."

The proposal was seconded by the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton and adopted unanimously,

The result of our operations for the year 1937, now under review, pas, I am pleased to say, again been highly successful. The BC- count has run off leaving a credit balance of $733,521.47 which, though slightly less than in the year 1996, is substantially above the average of recent years. It is satisfactory to be able to record that our pre- mium income again exceeds that for the previous year, for, with con. tinued unsettled. conditions and lack of security throughout China, The only other business of the together with the acute competi. meeting was the re-election of Sir Lion for whatever business may be obert Ho Tung and Mesars.
