The Chairman said:-Gentlemen, as the Report and Accounts have been for some days in your bands I will, with your permission, jake $60,000 in dividend which is a very large pro- them as read, It is proposed to pay away portion of the sum at credit of the Profit and Loss Account, víz, $$3,698.29. I think it right to say that in proposing such a large division of profit the Directors have been influenced by the action at the last shareholder's meeting of a number of proprietors holding a majority of shares who required the payment of a dividend in excess of that recommended by the Dir holders have intimated to Members of the ectors. Recently also certain influential share- Board that they would require nothing less than a to per cent dividend for the half year. If any shareholder present should be of opinion. that the proposed payment of $60,000 in divid-. end is somewhat beyond the bounds of busi ness-like caution the Directors will be pleased to hear him state his reasons for his belief. It is shown in the Report and Account, that a Profit of very nearly $12,000 was made during › the year on the sale of a small piece of the Praya Reclamation measuring 651 square feet. As this land was cot off from the principal the flotel Company by the Chater Road, it was portion of the Paya Reclamation owned by not likely to be of use in the future for the Company's business, and the opportunity was. change has been made in the form of the Ac taken of selling it at a handsome proft. A count of Furniture and Fixtures. Formerly this account included such articles as finen, crockery, glassware, cutlery, carpets &c, and to provide for their issue to the various departe ments of the Hotel certain sums were written off each half year from the Furniture and Fixtures account. In order to avoid the risk of not writing off a sufficient sum to cover the heavy wearand tear and loss of the articles ! have just enumerated, the Directors transferred them on 1st July last, as the accounts show, to a separate account of their own, and have since cost of each issue. The present Fumiture and then credited that account and'debited the Hotel working account direct with the actual Fixture Account includes heavy items of house hold furniture and machinery not mentioned by nie in the foregoing paragraph.
I am pleased to say that we are doing a very good business in all departments at the present
time.
