We had, intended to consult you so soon as a reliable offer was made, but this never came to pass. However, it is a matter for no regret.

The CHAIRMAN-Being the oldest member of the board, and knowing something of the past history of the company, I can give you my ex- perience of how we got directors to sit at this board in old times. If you read the history of the company and how it was conducted, you will find that at one time we could not get directors to nit at this board. We were reduced to the mininum number allowed by the articles of association and we had to call a shareholders' meeting to elect a board. Well, since then we have had our frien sometimes secured only by entreaties, to as us in conducting this public company, until now we have got responsible and eligible men. And the question is, not how easily the thing is man aged, but what tact you require when the leases are renewed. You could get a new lease at a | reasonable figure of course." At present we have nothing more to say. There is the deed of asso- ciation, and if Mr. Taylor will read article 88 he will find the board has power to take a remune.. ration of $3,000, whereas they are taking only $2,000.
Mr. TAYLOR-Only $3,000!

Mr. McCULLOCH There is one question I would like to ask. You said you were entitled to $3,000. Are you going to enforce that? You have gone up from $1,000 to $2,000.
