RAIL MILEAGE ABANDONED IN U.S.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Abandon- ment of railway mileage in the past nine months already has ex ceeded the 1931 discontinued total

derstand that the authorities now propose to license all purveyors of cold drinks, etc., in the City before the present restrictions are removed, and, while at first thought this might appear to be unfavourable to the ice business, it may, in the end, prova beneficial. With direct con- trol by the authorities the drástic action taken this year should, in the case of future outbreaks, be modi- fied to some extent. I am pleased to say that there has been a de- ciled improvement in cold storage revenus during the year.

Another Ice. Store.

Turning to the accounts, you will note the item of 810,054,58 for ex penditure on machinery and ice stores. This mainly represents the cost of insulation of another ice store which was considered to be essential in view of the marked im- provement in sales in the early part of the year.

Depreciation on practically the same linee as last year totalling 815,004.08 has been provided for, and the buildings and plant have been maintained in a good state of repair. I do not think any further comment is called for in connection

with the accounts.

The balance for allocation, includ ing the aum of $7,003.64 brought forward from last year's accounts, amounts to $18,718.01, which your Directors recommend should be dealt with as follows:-

Pay a dividend of 25 cents per share on 40,000 shares absorbing $10,000.00.

Carry forward the balance of 88,718.01.

I now propose that the report and accounts. as presented be that the above adopted and allocation be approved. When this has been seconded I shall be plons- ed to answer any questions share- holders may wish to ask,,

•The adoption of the reports and accounts was seconded by Mr. Chan Nai Pan and carried.

Directors Re-elected.

Mr. A. Stevenson proposed to re-

bably will establish a new record.
