Sir-On Monday next, 31st August, an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Hongkong Engineer ing & Construction Co., Ltd. is to be held for the purpose of pros- ing that the capital of the Company be increased to $1,000,000 by the fanuc of a further 400,000 shares at ja nominal value of $2.00 each.

Doubtless the Directors who now remmin on the Board consider that they have good and sufficient rea- sons for putting forward this pro- posal, but I feel that a mild ctili- clam might be permitted and would not be entirely out of place.
