CHINA FIRE MEETING. Considerably Improved Figures:

"

A credit balance of $961,164.44 representing a considerable im- provement over the balance of the corresponding period of the previ- ous year was reported by Mr. T.G. Weall, presiding at the ordinary yearly meeting of the China Fire insurance Company, Limited, which was also held at Union Building this morning. The Chairman said

In seconding Mr. W. A. Hannibal said:

An Old Connexion.

If I may touch a personal note here I might mention that my deal- ings with the society extend over very many years since when, as youngster, I used to visit the old office under the Royal Exchange in connexion with a settlement of some claim or other and I can only say that the courtesy and consideration shown then has been carried on through subsequent years, and so long as that feeling of mutual con- Adence and amicable settlements remain the policy of this society, we are bound to go forward not- withstanding inevitable periods of depression. (applause).

The balance at credit of the 1927 account is $961,164,44 which represents a considerable improve- ment over the balance for the cor- responding period of the previous year. Out of this balance, your directors recommend the payment of an interim dividend of $2.00 por share, absorbing $40,000, and that the remainder be carried forward.

The payment of an interim divi- dend is a departure from the usual procedure so far as this company the is concerned. The effect to

the shareholders is to Increase total amount now receivable by way of dividends and bonus by the sum of $2.00 per share which your

Thanks of Shareholders.

I think I am right in saying that our general manager and those as- soclated with him together with the Board of Directors have the sincere thanks of the shareholders for what has been done in the past and that we can look forward to the future of the society with every confidence. (Applause).

With these few remurks I beg to second the adoption of the report and accounts.
