Mr. Cox-What will the new building cost? Mr. Palmer-About $150.000, withont formi- ture..

The Chairman-The simplest plan will be to go round to Mr. Palmer's office, to get all particulars. We have deferred settling the matter until this meeting-He then proposed the adoption of the, report.

Mr. Ryrie seconded, adding his opinion that The Chairman said there was very little to if the director had done anything contrary to add to the report or accounts. As they saw, the Articles of Association they did it in good there was a profit of $14.376 on the half-year, faith, and it was very little use harking back which was a considerable decrease on the first | now, It was done with good Intention, half, hut the second half was always the worst.and the shareholders should give them credit for It was to he hoped that there would be a corres-acting in the general interest. ponding increase in the present half-year.

The report was then adopted.

Mr. Ho Tang asked if it was the Directors' Mr. James proposed, and Mr. Ho Tung intention to extend the Hotel, or only alter it ?.

seconded, the confirmation of the election of Mr. The Chairman replied that they desired to extend J. F. C. da Roza to the Board, and it was agreed it to the Praya, where, ultimately,thechief entrance io. would bo. They must remember that the present Hotel was an old building, in which there was a vast amount of waste space in the shape of passages, etc. which could be utilised after the extension. The contracts had not been signed yet, the directors having deferred it until after the meeting.

Mr. C. Palmer said that he would show any shareholders the plans and estimates.

Mr. J. H. Cox-As one of the auditore I would call your attention to the item on the debit side of "share account-$15.479." Thuring this last audit we auditors observed that the account had been increased by the purchase of $1500 worth of "Watson's shares, and by payment of a second call on some other shares, amounting altogether to $700. It occurred to me to inquire why the directors had bought these shares, seeing that the Company had no funds of its own, being always in debt, as it has been for some years. I referred to the Articles of Associa tion--which I bad not deemed it necessary to do before, as I never thought the directors would go beyond their powers.

Mr. Henderson proposel, and Mr. James seconded, that Messrs. McCulloch and Jones Hughes be re-elected directors, and that also was passed.

The Chairman-The only other business- Mr. Cox-The auditon-they have to be elected for the half-year. I offered myself for re-election, but it has not been put in the report. The Chairman-Well, if any one will propose and second, you I shall be very happy to put it to the meeting.

Mr. Ryne proposed the re-election of Messrs. Cox and Green, and Mr. Ho Tung having seconded, it was agreed to,

That concluded the business of the meeting. HONGKONG & KOWLOON DOCK COMPANY,

An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders of this Company was held this afternoon, at the offices, for the purpose of considering the pro- posal of the Board to make the following altera- 'I may perhaps be|tions in the rules :- permitted to mention that this is not the account I signed, as I put an addenda to my certificate. Mr. Green, my colleague, objected to sign it, so I call your attention as shareholders to clause ten, article 104-which states that "the directors may invest such part of the funds of the Company as shall not be required to satisfy or provide for immediate demands in or upon Government Stocks or Funds, or upon such other securities as they think expedient, and may from time to time vary such securities and convert the same as matters require, or as they deem expedient." It says "if the funds of the Company are not required to satisfy immediate demands," you

Properly speaking, notice. the Company has no tunds-it has been in debt for about six years, and, that being so, if the Directors have not found it out before they should done so. I desire to relieve myself of responsibility, because we auditors are looked on as your servants, to act as buffers between the Directors and shareholders: object to this last,addition of $1,700 to the item. You observe that we say we have found the statement of accounts in accordance with the

books and vouchers, but if you had seen the memorandum I added you would see that I objected to the account. I said "The under- signed begs to call he attention of the share- holders to Article number 104, par, 10, of the Articles of Association of the Company, as lic is of opinion that it, does not confer upon the directors power to purchase shares with borrowed money." I regret to have to men- tion this, but I think it is my duty, in justice to myself. I think it should have been put before you in the report- believe the directors have no power to exrunge anything put in by an audit. Had it been done you; would not have had your time taken up now. I shall have to leave this point in your hands; I do not We myself look it is a correct account. were indifferen before, in masing these items, because we didn't think the directors would exceed their p wers, but I mentioned it last time to my co-auditor, Mr. Green, asking why the autors should invest money obtained an loan, and on looking at the Artides I found they had no right to do so. I am your servant, and I point this out to you, to please yourselves, as you think fit Whereis kny loss on the shares that is your look-out, and you must not come on me, The directors wrate to me, through their secretary, anying that they would not publish my remarks, which I did not reply te, as I intended to repeat them to the meeting, There are all sorts of shares mixed up'in the account-I have a list which I will read if you wish. I do not think, myself, that money should be invested under the circumstances.

Mr. Cox-If the directors are not authorised by the Articles of Association to buy any more I suppose they will not do so. If the shareholders want them to do so let them alter the Articles. I have every reason to believe-I never believed otherwire that the directors wished to do wrong, and I don't suppose they will buy any other shares.

The Chairman-Perhaps you will propose it to the meeting.

Mr. Cox--I am acting for the shareholders. The Chairman-But you are a shareholder. Mr. Cox-Yes, and I am auditor.

Mr. Ho Tung-I will propose that the di- rectors be in future requested not to buy any more shares, and that as soon as there is an opportunity the shares now owned be sold, and the money restored to the Company.

The Chairman-That has already been agreed on-as soon as it was brought before the notice of the directors. You see this thing has been passed over for a long time, but as soon as' they were informed of it they at once came to this determination.

Mr. Ho Tung-Then you will not buy any more? I see that the costs in the recent action have not been ascertained-is there any money laid aside towards them?
