The Chairmad said: "Gentlemen, the report and statement of accounts having been in your bands for some time I'propose with your per mission to take them as read. The directors are pleased to come before you with what ap

such pears to them, as I feel sure it will to you, a satisfactory report of the year's workings 1 shows a further expansion in the Company's operations, our services now equalling upwards 47,000 lampa of 8 candle power, 85 are lamps and 34 likts against 44,500 lamps, 85 arc lamps and 20 lifts at the date of our last report, and with the reduction made in cost of current anpplied as from rat March of this year we have good grounds for looking for a further extension of our operations. Our plant account shows a considerable increase mainly due to payment for the two Diesel alteraator sets of 3oo hip. each. These are just about completed and we trust to have them working during this month. Land and building account also shows a considerable increase due in a large measure to renewals and alterations pre- paratory to putting in the Diesel engines. Our stock of installation material, coal and stores stand at almost the same amount as last year, Sundry debtors bew an increase over last year but, since closing the accounts, fully half of that amount has been collected. The balance of profit and loss account amounts to $159,637.13 and after deducting $3,000.00 for directors' fees A sum of $136,637.13 remains available for appropriation and your directors propose to deal with this as follows:-To pay a dividend of to per cent;-say $1.00 per share on 67,0:0 shares $60,000; to pay a bocus of 2 per cent, say 20 ceals pet share on 50,000 shares $12,000; to writs off plant account for deprecia- tion $8,308.60, to write off from land and building account $13,613.10; to pay a bodus to staff $3,395; to carry forward to next account $9,334.43 $156,637.13. I trust this proposal will meet with your sanction and approval being an increase of a per cent, over last year's return to shareholders. The continued writing down of the plant account is essential especial ly in view of the adoption of Diesel engines by the company for the greater,hu working suocess of the engines the more necessary it will become to write off and entirely displace the steam plant that now forms a large pro- portion of the Company's assets. The writing down of the property account is necessary as the station buildings are nearly 20 years old and the money spent on this account during the year has been expended in alterations and renewals rather than on additional buildings. Further expenditure under this head will be necessary and will have to be undertaken whether future extensions of plant are made with oil or steam. I am sure the bonus to the stall which is equal to one month's salary will commend itself to you. A sub stantially larger amount is recommended to be carried forward in order that the share holders may have confidence in the company's andeavour to maintain a steady and satisfac tory dividend and at the same time make due provision for the inevitable depreciation of plant and such like assets. In the Chairman's speech last year he mentioned that it might be necessary at no distant date to increase our capital. The necessity has not arises during the past year and your Directors are hopeful of being able to finance any increase in plant, etc, which may occur during the present year without having to raise fresh capital.

No questions were asked. The Chairman moyed the adoption of the raport and accounts:

Dr. Noble-1 rise with pleasure to second the adoption of the report and statement of ac counts as presented, and also to congratulate the directors, the agents and the staff for the completion of another satisfactory year's work ing, which is, after all, another among their many successive ones preceding it.

Chinese reports state that about 30 cargo boats have been lost but judging from the appearance which the foreshore presented at a late hour last night, we regard this as a very low estimate. Not many lives are reported to have been lost though several junka were seen to upset in midstream and their occupants not seen again.

Coolies were busy all afternoon and late into the aight reaping a rich harvest of flotsam and jetsam and the back roads were througed with men carrying poles, planks, firewood and in fact any article that hands could be laid upon.

As far as could be seen from the Kiangfeo there had been a large loss both of life and property. Many capsized boats and junks were seen floating down river and some derelices, also rafts of poles and bamboo. Along the beach, several craft were lying sunk and broken. The moor ings and gangways of the hulks and pontoons were also carried away slopping all discharg ing and loading for the time. Sea was so high that the Kiangfno was rolling guarde under.

The directors of the Tang Wa Hospital have made an arrangement to employ the dispensary coolies in removing patients, and dead bodies to the hospital instead of em ploving as they do now outside undertakers, It is hoped that this arrangement will put a stop to the irregularities which it is believed were connected with the old system.
