Previous Faro Tables cancellod but the chairma said that, in view of the pending litigation over that land, it would be undesirable to state them. speak and, on being challenged, stated that At this juncture Mr. W. O'Connor rose to he was not a shareholder but held a power of attorney which he had registered with the Becretaries. Bomo discussion took place a The Chairman ruled that an attorney could only to-bir eligibility to take part in the proceedings, attend a meeting and roto.
Auswering Mr. Cuthbert, the Chairman said they had excellent hopes of being able to raise deboutures.
After some further discussion Mr. Peck movod, and Mr. Bluan seconded, that the company do not all its property to Loudon on the terms offered.
The question of an atto rust's power recurr- ing, the Chairman express ed his willingness to allow Mr. O'Connor to speak.
Introducing the subject before the meeting, the chairman said that in the case of bona fide offer being made for the property it was obligatory on the part of directors to place such an offer before the shareholders to find whether they were in favour of it or not. He mentioned that because some of the shareholders had got the impression that the directors were support ing the proposal. As a board they came before the shareholders to-day with an open mind. To begin with, they had a very good property, in excellent order and very efficiently managed by Mr. Williams. The directora -wate

estate. The particulars of the estate given in the aironlar woro verified by 2,100 himself (the Chairman). On the Sengst seals the valuation worked out at about at about £34,000, ba't that reale was considered by persons competent to know as somewhat a high valuation. The London offer was £28,600, or some £5,000 less than that valuation. The promoters' profits and promotion expenses amounted to £7,500 which seened a Jarge sum, but of that there had to be paid underwriting fees amounting to 6 per cent, on £24,000, ay, £1,500. There was little- doubt their shares were more valuable on the London market than on the local one as the lat- ter could not carry the large number of dollar companies. But would they be paying leo much for the advantages of London? Careful calculatione bad been made, and they were of opinion that the proposed £18,900 of working capital was more than ample for the full deve- lopment of the estate, including the land which they claimed and which had not yet boen trans ferred
