The Directors' Report was read by the General Manager, Mr. C. E. Neill, as follows: Profit and X.oss Account. Balance, November 20, 1019 $1,004.418.74 Profits for the year, after deducting Charges of Management and an other Expenses, Accrued Interest on Deposits, full Provision for all Bad and Doubtful Debts and Rebate of Interest on Unmatured Bills $4 253,849.24 Appropriated as follows: Dividends Nos. 130, 131, 132 and 133 at 12 per cent. per annum Bonus of 2 per cent. to Shareholders Transferred to Officers' Pension Fund $2,153,159.11 40.2,680.20 100,000.00 Written off Bank Premises Account 400,000.00 War Tax on Bank Note Circulation 180,295.47 Transferred to Reserve Fund 1,567,005.00 Balance of Profit and Loss carried 'forward 546,928.20, $5,850,06 T.98 The assets of the bank have been, as usual, carefully revalued, in order to make ample provision for all had or doubtful. debts. The total Assets of the Royal Bank are now $594,670,013.43, an increase over last year of ;$61,022,928.58. The total deposits are $455,017,387.02, the growth being $61,463,229.74. , While a shrinkageis shown in Free de- posits, accounted for by the fact that on. November 30th, 1919,, there were on hand large special deposits„ in connection with subscriptions to the Victory Loan, there is shown a substantial increase in interest-bearing deposits, which is a particularly satisfactory feature, • An increase of not less than $52,951,830.00 in current loans is the result of the policy of affording legitimate Assets to clients' of the Bank during a period of great trade expansion. The percentage of current loans, and total assets, now stands at 48.16. The liquid position of, the Bank as well .maintained, the liquid assets being 50.50% of Liabilities, and the actual cash and deposits in banks: being over 30% of the. total Liabilities. The Capital of the Bank has been increased during the year by the issue. of thirty-four thousand shares to shareholders. The reserve fund now equals ille capital and a very satisfactory increase in earnings has been made, the net profits being $4,253,649.24, equal to 23.70% upon capital,.or 12.1% of combined capital - reserve. The usual dividend and.an additional e ] cap. 1 and bonus of 2% has been paid to shareholders and a balance of $546,928.20 carried forward in profit and loss account.

For the use of progressive plumb- ers, an electrical machine for thawing out frozen pipes has been developed. It is a compact portable outfit and when wanted for use has t'nly to be connected with the household lighting circuit. Oue advantage of this contrivance is that It does away .with danger of fire. It eorisume3 only about as much energy as an electric flatiron. Tho whole affair weighs only thirty-five Pounds, The process of thawing the pipe be- ginswith turning on the faucet. Then the workman selects the point nearest the street and begins heating the pipe in section, continuing until the water at the faucet begins to run, Cedar Bark Nests.

Suddenly, though her flashlight was Half i5oon close to the present loca- tion. of New York's Goddess of Liber- ty, and the following year, still search- ing for the elusive Northwest Pass- age, he sailed _into Hudson Bay and followed its `eastern shore south to near the present Moose Factory. It was there in James Bay, the shal- low southern arm of Hudscin Bay, that HenryHudson suffered the keenness of disappointment that can come only to the world's great ` dreamers. His dream was to find a passage to the "South Sea," and therefore a emit cut to India•.' When he sailed into Hudson Bay and found that it was a great body of water he was sure his. dream was about to be realized, But when he reached the shallow James Bay; and nosing across, -found that there was a west coast to the great ex- panse sof water, his dream came to an end. r It was on 'the "shores of James Bay thatIiudson and his surly crew win- tered following his discovery, and only a short distance to the north that the great explorer...met his tragic end the next spring, when bound by mutineers he was set adrift in a small boat with a handful of sick men, to perish. "The Company of Gentlemen Ad- venturers Trading to Hudson's Bay," which carved dominion for Great Bri- tain across North America, establish- ed its first post near Moose Factory soon after Icing Charles II. signed its charter in 1670 and blithely made its' members "true and absolute lords” o$ three-quarters of a continent, vested them with trading monopolies, right to pass laws and impose punishments, and even gave them power to make war on non-Christian peoples. During the three and a half centuries since that time Moose Factory has remained one of the important pouts of the Hud- son udson Bay Company, gathering a rich, harvest of furs. It was the scene of many raids and counter -raids in the early days between the French and the company's employees. Hudson Bay is' one of the moss: - characteristic features on the map of Ndath America, standing out as strik- ingly as' the Gulf of 1MMexico and cover- ing almost as great an area. Thougirr it falls far short of furnishing a pas; age to the South Sea, as the early ex- 'ewers xplacers hoped, its wester host coast is on the very centre -line of the Contin eat. Much of the surrounding, terri- tory of the bay is unexplored wilder- 5885. On the west coast are Port Church- ill,, the bay's best port, and about a hundred miles to the south, Port Nel- son. Both these ports are to be con- nected by railroads with Winnipeg and the wheat and cattle country to the west. Sailing vessels ply Hudson Bay between July 15 and October 1, and steamers for a slightly longer Period. When the :railroadsincrease the im- portance of the Hudson Bay ports it is believed that ice -crushing ships will make possible the shipping of cargoes between June 15 and November J. By the, Hudson Bay route Edmonton, Al- berta; is 11000 miles nearer Liverpool than by the Montreal route.
