It is with great regret your directors have to meet you on this occasion with accounts that show a loss, but that loss would not have occurred if it had not been obligatory upon us to wille off as bad debts a large portionsligible for re-election, of what were taken over by the present Com pany as good assets from the old one. directors have no wish to impugn the good faith of our late Secretary in presenting a list of these assets, la the form of Accounts Receivable, duly attested by himself, to the directors and auditors; but if we had been fully aware of circumstances that came to our knowledge later, during the absence of the Secretary on leave, we should never have allowed many of the accounts to appear in that list. The fact is, gentlemes, the late Secretary, whilst fulfilling all that could bave been desired as manager of the works and machinery, was not equst to bis clerical duties in the office, and in the case of several disputed amounts, which he probably imagined he could recover, the Company found itself without a leg to stand on when payment was resisted.
