The company had paid to the- Commonwealth last year .^56,000 in dividends, as well as £70,000 in "terminal taxes on mes sage's rhandred'; by the company. The wireless telephone service to London 60 far had not been placed on a paying, basis, but the directorate was confident that the company would sooner or later be compensated .for ,its pioneering work. An important extension had been made, by which the Australian service could be switched through in London to the trausAtlantic wireless telephone. The Beam service had proved eminently successful, and the company had been approached with proposals for establishing a similar service with Japan and other countries. Pending completion of. arrangements for taking over the cable services in Australia by the company, extensions of this kind had.been postponed; S6 far as the manufacture of wireless telegraph and telephone stations was concerned,.; Mr. Fish added, the company's works had enjoyed,a successful, year. Both the Xew South:.Wales: arid the New Zealand Governments had Feeri supplied 'with' wireless stations, and a number of ships had been fitted with sets manufactured by the company."
