The company's dividends have gradually
risen from per cent to As per cent per
annum within a period of a few wears.
The land cost the company nothing to
start with. but the irrigation and Under
drainage entailed an expense of from $50 to
$25 per acre.
To-day the land is renting for s25 per
acre per annum. and none can be bought
outright for less than $500 per acre tie fig
ure at which the last sales were made.
The tract now undergoing reclamation by
the Abou Kir Company contains 1900 acres.
