The CHAIRMAN Said This meeting is called in order to confirm the resolution which was passed at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company held on 18th May last, having for its object the increase of the remuneration allowed to the general agents.

It is only reasonable, therefore, Company a revision of these terms should take place. The remuneration proposed 18 per cent, on the net profits of the Company and 82,000 for clerical assist ance terms which I trust you will consider very moderate. With these fow the
