The Chairman said be quite appreciated the suggestion, and he would see'the holders of the option with a view to seeing whether it might be possible for the shareholders to acquire those shares at, say, the market price of the day, fe quite agrend that if the option holders fell in with the suggestion it would enable the directors more quickly to develop the estate, and be would certainly see what could be done in that coporcion.
