TOWN IMPROVEMENTS.

At the annual meeting of share holders of the Dairy Farm. Ice and Cold Storage Co., Ltd., held to-day at noon, the Chairman (Mr. T. G.. Weall) stated that the date of closing the Company's annual ac counts had been changed from July 31st to December 31st, and that the balance of Profit and Lose Account had therefore been car ried forward to the next account-week and this amount was steadily ing period, the intention being to rising.

In the course of his speech, Mr. Weall said Your Directors are' pleased to be in a position to place before, you, what they consider a satisfactory report in spite of ad- vorse conditions and general de pression in trade prevailing in the Colony.

You will notice that this year we have written, off for depreciation;. bad and doubtful dobta $118,680.98, na against $116.816,68 last year. After. making these provisions, there remains 0 balance of $205,809.25 in- cluding the balance of $13,887.01'; brought forward from last year which your Directors recommend should be dealt with as follows:- Place to Fire'& Typhoon Insurance Fund, $5,000; and carry forward $200,809.25.
