He was opposed to the scheme on the simple ground that it had originated with some of the shareholders, and not with the directors, who were elected to manage the company. New blood had been brought in, and there were now capable and experienced men on the Board to look after the shareholders' interests, The directors had not supported the scheme, but merely told the shareholders to decide for themselves. Then there was the legal aspect of the matter." He referred to the Articles of -Association, and submited that it was not ingai to make shareholders in the Dock Com pany part with a portion of their shares for a share in another company in which they were not interested.

As a shareholder of the Dock Company he thought it would be a very good thing sell the Old Dock property for Tis. 1,380,000. As a shareholder in the pro- posed new company he bad his doubts.
