sald-Gentlemen, as is usual, I propose to The Chairman, addressing the shareholders, take it for granted that you have read the Report, which has been in your hands for some days. It deals with the tenth year of the Company's existence and the accounts, which in their new form are, I hope, clear to very shareholder, abow the gross receipts and net profits to be the largest since the Company's formation. A salisisctory feature la connection with these receipts is that they have been earned entirely on what might be called solid business, that is to say there have been no windfalls or exceptional sources of revenge as is former years, and the figures quoted may be accepted Company. The expeares unfortunately keep Sean ladication of the normal business of the pace with the receipts, but this is only what must be expected seeing that a large propor- tion of our revenue is deifred from a class of work in which the profits are the profits on labour, and in which the Company has to meet the competition of estives in the
ame
line of business. During the early months of the year it became evident to your Directors that the rates quoted by the Company were insufficient to yield even a moderate return of your capital, and they were at opinion that cliconstances justified a small increase. This equally to the Landing and Storing business, small increase, which was made applicable took effect from 1st September last, and the ac counts for the year have therefore benefited by An important event of the year's working was the change to the extent of four months only. the acquisition of the Wanchal Warehouse and Storage Company's business, the details of which I aced not trouble you with.

Nevertheless the suggested appropriation of profits will, I trust, mert the sp preval of shareholders, who will daubiless agree with the board in recognising the necessity of writing down the perishable property, and making liberal provision for repairs, which mast at times cons'liate a heavy drain on the Company's curces. The repairs for the year were large costlog $33.356, and in accordance with the suggestion in last year's report, and which was approved by shareholders, this amount has been debited to depreciation and repairs account, which, after transfering to li $15 000 from working account, now stands with a credit-balance of $73,130.
