Presiding on June 26, at annual meeting of Tanah Datar Rubber Estate, Ltd., Mr. W. Arthur Addinsell, said that having regard to the circumstance of the year the net probs was satisfactory, and the directors felt justified in recom- mending a dividend of 5 per cent. for the year. The crop was higher by approximately 45,000 lb. only. as compared with the previous year, and in this connection he would add that the company voluntarily assumed the compulsory measures in force in the British rubber grow- ing colonies throughout the six years of restriction. Not only were exports restricted, but, what was more important, output was faith- fully curtailed also. In conse- quence, when the Stevenson scheme was abolished, the estate was carry- ing only a normal stock of surplus cabber. The industry would have been better served if every com pany had observed the spirit and letter of the restriction scheme in a similar manner. With regard to estate works, economy compatible with efficiency had been the order throughout the year, and working costs showed reduction under all
naïs headings.
