We recommend a dividend of 8 per cent., the same as last year. I regret, however, that you have had to wait for this lostead of recely. ing a portion by way of interim' dividend after the usual half-yearly is.lance, as heretofore, but at that time we had a heavy overdraft with our Bankers. You will see from the accoust that at the end of the year we had worked to a

credit; however, at the moment we are again overdrawn. The fact is with a growing busi new we want a little more working capital,
