of the Socialist Gove erument, was to enable the D.B.C. to use accumulated depreciation reserves for purposes approved by ita anditors as capital expenditure, or for the repayment of loans. The full text of the additional clause reads:

"The Corporation may instead of investing in Trustee Securities sums set aside to meet deprecin- tion of assets as provided in sub- clause 2 (of the original charter) apply the same and any sinking fund

representing accumulated depreciation reserves in expendi- fure certified by its Auditors to be in the nature of enpitą) UX- penditure, or in the repayment of any suma borrowed or raised by the Corporation otherwise than for the purpose of obtaining team- or to- porary banking facilities wards the provisions of a sinklag fund for the purpose of such re- payment."
