References to the fact that the Company was still prohibited from operating in areas of North of The Soochow Creek, in spite of frequent representations to the proper authorities, were made by Mr. H. Martin Little (Chairman) at the 33rd Ordinary General Meeting of the Shanghai Electric Construction Ca. at its offices, 185 Soochow Road yesterday. During his speech the Chairman stated that although it was not possible to indicate any date for the resumption of the service, it would be the policy of the directors to press for a resumption. Supporting Mr. Martin Little were Messrs. F. R.
Davey, Ellis Hayim, W. J. Keswick, Li Ming and F. W. Poate (directors).
In his speech the Chairman said: The two outstanding events in the year under review have been the restoration of our passenger traffic to normal proportions and the serious depreciation in the exchange value of the Chinese dollar both of which, as you will readily understand, have a most important bearing on our financial results.
