The reason be put this pro minently before the meeting was that, although the company only received a specified sum as dividend on the Nederlandsch Indische shares, the Income-tax Commissioners claimed that the company was liable for the amount which that company had set aside for reserve, and they also arrogated the right of investigating the amount which this Dutch company had put aside for depreciation.
