2-HONGKONG DAILY PRESS I.R.C. SUBSCRIPTIONS TO BE INCREASED

EXTRAORDINARY MEETING WILL FOLLOW ANNUAL ON SEPT. 11-

The 22nd annual-generai meeting of the Indian Recreation Club will be held on Wednesday, September 11 at the Club's premises at 5.30 p.m.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Club members will be held Immediately after for the purpose-of-amending Rule No. 36 from "All members shall pay a quarterly subscription of $4.50 pay- able in advance, or members desiring to pay their subscription monthly may du so by paying $1.50 a month" to read “All members shall pay a quarterly subscription of $6 payabit in advance or mem- bers desiring to pay their subscription monthly may do' so by paying $2 a 1onth" and that the amended Rule Il confirmed shall be effec- tive from October 1, 1940.

The report of the committee for the year 1939-1940 states, in part: The balance of cash in hand and at Bank was $210.97 as com-- pared with $213.99 at the close of the previous year. A decrease in almost every item of expenditure coupled with a slightly better turn- over from the Bar resulted in a profit in the Working Account as against a loss sustained during the previous year. As the Committee foreshadowed the increase in the cost of working and maintenance they therefore recommend an in- crease in the monthly subscriptions from $1.50 to $2.

The year ended with a total of 142 members on the register as against 138 in the previous year.
