- arguments based upon insufficient or imperfect knowledge of the autaal factawo have thought it right to make some reply through the medium of your paper,
In the rst place Mr. Brown in the third paragraph of his letter states that all that shareholders in the old Company are promised in rotara for their shares is a one third interest in the new Company or 8259,000 in shares out of $750,000. On the contrary, at the meeting above referred te, it was distimetly stated by the Chairman that shareholders in the old cerupany applying for any further shares in the new Company over and above the allottment thay are entitled to under the proposed receostruc- tion would be girou a preferenco,
In the same paragraph, Mr. Brown continuos speaking of the new company whose only hope of a reconns return for the next three or possibly four or five years will be the revenue arned by the present Company and we will have to remain satisfied with a division of only one third of these profits." Apart from the ques tion of there being possibly two opinions as to the length of time required to make the now line, the last statement is inaccarate. The shares
in the new Company issued to the shareholders of the old Company will be fully paid up and entitled to dividends on the full amount of $10.00 per share from the formation of the Company. On the other hand the remaining shares will only be entitled to dividends on the amount paid up on them for the time being which will certainly not exceed $5.00 per share for the first year and may be less. So that if 85,00 only be called up on 50,000, shares the dividend would go balf to the holders of the fully paid up shares and half to the other, and on the basis of earnings of six per cont on the full capital of $750,000.00 this would be equivalent to 90 cents per share in the new Company or $18.00 por share on each slaars in the old Company, actually $3.00 more per share than was paid last year.
Again in paragraph 7 of his letter Mr. Brown says "Bat why not let well alone The old Company is strong enough sud surely doing well enough. Let the new Company go ahead with their brand-new concession and build their new line and operate against us for a few years, ko."

Sir Frederick Treves, who submitted the toust. of The Japan Society " said that it was mainly through the arts of Japan that that country was known to the majority of the inhabitants of this island. Nothing astounded him more in his recent visit to Japan than the way in which the Japanese had foquired into the medicine and surgery of the Western world and the marvellous thing they were making out the astonishing advance made by the Japanese of it.

This would mean that for the whole perical during which the new line was being built and for as long as it continued to ras, always supposing as Mr. Brown does that the old Company was successful in raining the nsw, instead of being itself rained, say sight or nine years, the shareholders in the old company would certainly not have received more than $15 per share per annum in the form of dividends and probably under the circumstances less, so that in taking 9200 as the price to be paid under the reconstruction scheme for the shares in the old Company we are of opinion that they are being taken at a fair value. As to Mr. Brown's contention that because the Company has shown its ability in the past (in the absence of any opposition) to earn satisfactory dividends on a Markot price of $325 per share, the shures are still worth this price under prosent conditions, we cannot think he intended it to be taken seriously.
