CHAIRMAN'S CONFIDENCE. The ip.aaul meeticg cl shareholders of the Golden Bay Cemer.; Company, Limited, was held on Friday, wnen the chairman oi the company, Mr i\ It. Hogarth, presided. . _ . The chairman. In proposing the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, explained that while only a Email profit was shown, tfco year had beon fairly euccessful. Taking into consideration the enormous difficulties owing to construction work in connexion with the installation of the r.ew machinery taking place, the operation of the old plant continuously was very satisfactory, »nd the result was better than had been expected. The r.ew plant was completed in August, and is now running splendidly, producing cement of the highest quality. Expectations in this connexion have been more than fulfilled. The management at the works has been thoroughly reorganised, and Mr K. Malthy Kob-nsou. who h&a had experience in the manufacture of cement in other countries, has been appointed works manager. The laboratory staff has been doubled, ar.d nothingl is now lett to chance to ensure a high standard of uniform quality being maintained. The new cement has been very well received './? engineer*, builders, etc. Sales during the year hAve been very good, and the directors look forward to the futuro with confidence. The uses of cement are becoming wider every day. Tbe construction of concrete roads, for which all the materials are obtainable in New Zealand, is increasing, ho said, as local bodies realise that no other pavement will carry the everincreasing traffic as economically. In this connexion. Mr Hogarth expressed surprise that New Zealand, to a large extent, has disregarded the experience of older countries in tho construction of modern roads. On his recent visit to Australia he had found that the concrete road was accepted by the authorities as the only rood suitable for modern requirements, and most of the new construction work was being done in concrete. Captain Charles McArthur seconded the motion, which was carried. The appointment of Messrs Geo. Shirtcliffe and H. L. Nathan to the board of directors was confirmed. The retiring shareholder director, Mr F. R. Hogarth, was reelected to the Board, and Mr P. E. Pattriclc was re-elected auditor of the company lor tho ensuing year Subsequently, tho annual genera! meeting of debenture-holders was held. The deben-ture-holder directors made their annual report to the meeting, and a vote expressing appreciation and thanks to the directors for their work during the past year was carried unanimously.

The retiring director, Mr C. K. Olivier, Tz-ae re-elected to the Beard of the company as ono of the debenture-holder directors.
