REPORT. ON THE YEAR'S

It is learned from the annual Report and Statement of Accounts of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders of Hongkong for 1930 that the result of the year's working was a loan of $2.074.32, no against a loss of $1,316.93 for the previous year.

It is pointed out that "there is a drop in Bar Profits for the year of $1,512.90 ns compared with 1929, this being due to a decrease in the Bar gales for the last 3 quarters of the year, and to decrease in the rate of profit obtained, both of which factors can be attributed to exchange conditions.

Before the circle of the Hong kong.
