After the Secretary bad rend such portion of the notice as copcerned the meeting.

The CHAIRMAN said: Gentlemen,-An indicated in that part of the notice which has just been head by the Secretary, the meeting has been convened for the pur- poes of receiving a

ings at the Second Port of the proce

Extraordinary

Meeting of this Company, held on the 3rd inst, in so far as regards Resolution No. 3 set out in the notice convening such Second Extraordinary General Meeting, which was passed as an "Extraordinary Resolution at that meeting and of con- firming, if though fit, such resolution as a special resolution. That resolution, as know; concerned the division of each of the existing 90,000 fully paid up shares of $100 each into four fully paid up shares of 825 each...

You will recollect that at the Second Extraordinary General Meeting. I gave the reason which actuated the Consulting Committee in bringing forward the re solution in uestion, and I do not con- sider it necessary to deal further there- with now, except to remark that at the Second Extraordinary General Meeting the resolution was unanimously passed as an extraordinary resolution, and that in order to comply with the Companies Ordinance, it is necessary that such re- solution shall be confirmed as a special resolution. I accordingly beg to propose the coofruation as a special resolution of the said resolution, namely:-

(3) That each of the existing 20,000- fully paid up shares of $100 each coa- stituting the Company's present capital of 8,000,000 be divided into four fully paid up shares of 35 each so as to make such capital $2,000,000 consisting of 80,000 fully paid up shares of 195 each.

and I shall be muevh obliged if some sharehoqlder will kindly second that.

Mr. H. Binker seconded and the re- solution was unanimously passed.

The CHAIRMAN' then thanked those pre- seat for their attendance, this terminating the proceedings.

LONDON'S SUPER-SAFES.

ROMANCE OF A LUCKY PENNY

IN CHANCERY LANE.

Every night at six o'clock huge, metal doors in a concreto "and steel-lined build- ing in the City of London shut with a clang and remain immovable for 15 hours. Behind them, in 15,000 safes and strong- rooms, lie aecurities, deed, and liquid. the estimated value of

asset. millions..

They are the stronghold doors of the Chancery Lane. Sale Deposit, and in case their two tons of solid steel and. their two time-locks, in additon to the ordinary means of fastening, are not suf ficient to keep the treasures they guard safe against invasion, armed guards patrol the building throughout the night. The grimly business-like vaults are the mecting-place of all sorta and conditions of men and women; burglars and million aires have used them anybody with a treasure to guard or«n secret to bide. There is the 'diamond queue" of mer. chants from Hatton Gardon, who prefer to place their stock in the vaults every aight than to trust it to a safe in their unguarded offices. Millionaires deposit their artistic and bibliographic treasures in the strong rooms. One paid £2,000 for a special door with two combination locks to be fitted to the room he rented.

Lawyers keep their most important documenta in the safes, and women store their jewels there and come nad gloat over them week by week.

And there is romance, too, For thirty years one man rented a small safe, for which he paid £3 3a. a year, for the sole purpose of keeping his "lucky penny' beyond all chance of loss.

I do not know what virtue was in that penny said the secretary of the Safe deposit" but I do know that when our renter first cante he was in very bumble circumstances, but when he died he was worth well over £100,000, and his heirs took the penny pway.”
