The students this. morning massed in the street and attacked the police, but they were met with a deluge, from a fire hose. The rioters tore up paying stones and hurled them at the police. A number of police and onlookers were injured. The police fired on the rioters seriously wounding five, after which the crowd dispersed."

The students are endeavouring to enlist the co-operation of the workers for' stop, esential. services, but the Municipal Council, is taking measures accordingly.

The city is calm at present but the situation depends to some extent on the backing which the Reds intend to give the rioters.

In explaining the resolutions XXX prior to that after Mr.R. M. Dyer, Chief Manager, had read them, the Chairman had said:

Gentlemen, The object of this meeting is to confirm as special resolutions the resolutions which were passed as extraordinary re- solutions at the meeting of the Company held on May 18 last. As I then explained, the purpose of the resolutions is to raise fur ther capital for the objects spec fied in the Chairman's speech at the annual general meeting held on March 30 last and in order to give offect to this it is necessary to alter Article 17 which at 'pre- sent limits the extent of a mem ber's holding of shares. Sixty thousand of the new shares will be offered at once to the present) shareholders at a premium of 310 per share in the manner indicated in the resolutions and the Te maining-unissued shares will be subsequently dealt with as the Directors think fit.

I do not think there is anything further with which I need deal but if any shareholder would like to ask questions or seek any explanation, I shall be pleased to endeavour to answer such ques- tions and give such explanation to the best of my ability,
