Alison, presiding. , ho balance-shoot ohd statement •of ( :counts were read by the Beoijfetjijjr. ,-Tbe iport for tho half-) ear ending December Ist stated : Your directors have much leasure in presenting their second report ad balance-sheet for the half-year ending Ist December, 1882, and congratulate the hareholders upon the increasing business f the company. An «ffer having been re* oived from gentlemen interested in the s'orlhcote Ferry, your directors sold the i.s. Devonpoit, together with the goodwill f that service for five years, for the sum of il2oo. The reduction in the fares by the iuw company having proved a financial iuccess, > our directors considered it advi*. ible at the commencement of ihe second jcar. on Ist October last, to atill further re luco the price of the family ticket, and hope jy so doing to enc3urage a yeater num jer of families to residj in the district The boats are ail in good order, and no ixtuordinary expenditure may be antici pated for some time to come. The unpaid Sails and the bills receivable will ntady ;over the back overdraft, and as this money will bhottly be in hand, the com pany will be praeiically out of debt; your directors have therefore resolved to recom mend an interim dividend of Is per share, which will absorb £500, and leave a bal ance oE £337 Us 2d to be carried forward to profit and lo.s new account. In accord ance with the articles of association, two directors (Messrs S ark and Meatyatd) re tire from office, but being eligible oftcr themselves for re-election,—For ihe Board of Directors, EwEN W. ALttON, Chairman The statement if account* shewed income, including fares and freight, £3,781 4s lOd ; calls, £1,287 10a; and sale of steamer, £1,200, to ba £8,506 2s lOd. The National Bank overdraft on 31st December, 1882 was £2,045 Is sd. The expenditure amounted to £8,506 2s lOd, including w<tges, £1,295 j National Bank, 30oh June 1882, £3,951 9»; and repairs to Alexandra, £424 5s 2d, The profit and loss aecoum shewed a net profit for the half-year of £1,261 6s Id. The balance-sheet was as follows : - To capital account, 10,040 shares less u«paid calls, £8,689 17s 6d; sundry creditors, £192 2i 4d; National Bank, £2,045 Is sd; balance, £837 lls 2d; tota1, £11,76412a SJ. As.eta :By steamer and plant, £10,919 12s 54; bills receivable, £600; sundry debtors, less bad dibts written off, £191 17s 9d; cash in hand, £53 2a3d; total. £11,76412a 5d.-(Bigoed) Benjamin Tanneb, Secretary.—The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, remarked upon the improved condi tion of the company, both financially a»d as concerned passenger and poods traffic. He called attention to the progress of the district during 'the last six months, ia which time 65 new buildings had been erected. This progress, he considered, was in a large measure due to the efficiency of the ferry service and the reduction of fares. At their last meeting there was a balance to debit of the Company. Since then die steamet Alexandra had been repair«d, the boats were all now in excellent older, and th« Company was now able to declare an interim dividend of Is per share. He therefore thought he could safoly congratu late the shareholders upon th« success of the Company. The nwtion for adoption was seconded by Mr Durance, an* upon being puc to the meeting was carried. jllectiok of Directors.—Messis Staik and Me«tyard, the retiring directors, wire again nominated, the new candidates being Messrs Winter and Page, »f Auckland. Messrs T. L. White and Malcolm Niccol were appointed scrutineers ovec the ballot, which resulted :-Stark, 1416; Meatyard, 1205 ; P»ge, 1043 ; Winter, 934, The two formsr were, therefore, declared elected. Mr It. M. Stark, who was present, returned thanks. Auditor.—Messrs T. L. White ani Jfto Waymoutb, sen., were nominated, but owing to the lateness of the hour it wan agreed to adjourn the ballot until that ni^ht week, at 8 p.m., Honorarium.—Oa the.motiun of Mr isdson, seconded by Mr Durance, Mr E. M. Stark, who has been actiig as lupervisicg director for the company, was voted the sum of £150 ia recoguitibn of his »ervices. —Xhe chaitmui asked the meeting to con sider whether the directors did not deserve a vote. During the whole tim« they were In office not a stilling had been^voted to themselves, and the balance-sheet showed what they had done for the company. However, it was for them to lay whether the directors were entitled to any remuner ation or not.—Mr Knight remarked that perhaps the directors deserved >he vote, but they had evidence tbat other genthmsi w»uld be only tco glad te do twelve months' duty for nothing.— The matter seemed inclined to drop, and the chairman remarked that the action was most nngeneraua towards the directors, although he for himself did not deairt one shilling.—The business held over will bo resumed on Wednsaday eveaing next.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT TAURANGA.

Whin the Mayor referred to the unsatis factory condition of the fire plamt yester day, he little thought that it would be «o koon put to a crucial test. About 1.45 on Tueiday morning, Messrs Hay, Beding field, and McMahon, compositors on the " Bay of Plenty Times" staff, observed the glare oi fire trom the composing wit dow?, and ran along the street giving toague. Juit before this, Mr James Salt, from tbe window of his residence, saw a flare of fire at Mr Peel's, and ran towards tbe fircbell. Mr Nicholas, a few Hiinutoj before, noted tha sams ominous sign, and also ran to the fire bell, where he fouid Mr E. J. Haig ring ing it; Mr Haig had seen the fire from his bedroom window. When Mr Nicholas ran by, the flames were bursting oat of Peel's door. There was no one else about. By three o'clock Mr Peel's spirit store, Mr Bromfield's office, an unoccupied building next Mr Peel's, Messrs Paget and Hulme'a stables, and various fences and sheds had been glutted, while the bare and fehastly ribs of the smaller buildings, and a mass of grain, &c.,in Messrs Paget & Hulme's stable were still ' burning. The gable of Messrs Paget and Hulme's maiu store and offices win also partially burnt. The first burst up with amazing rapidity, and though willing bands were speedily on the ground they were only able to save Paget and Hulme's shop. . The rest had gone beyond mortal ken. The buildings consumed were mostly old, aad a decent' stream of water would have knocked them down, but the ridiculously inadequate supply available to our puny engines, no matter how well the^ were worked, would have been woefully insufficient, had there been any -wiudtosproadtlie flames. Perhaps this bonfire will bring the townspeople to a true appreciation of the awful risk they run, and convince the ratepayers that an efficient water supply, no matter what it cost, is an absolute necessity to onr existence. About ■ 8.30 p.m. yesterday Messrs Yates and Henry left Mr Peel's pre mises with him, after auditing the Fores ters' accounts. At that time all appeared right, but theroom in which the audit was held was littered with packing-cases and straw, Mr Pe.el's and Mr Bloomfield's pre mises were the property of Mr Clarebrough, the unoccupied store belonged to Mr Sheath, while Messrs Paget and Hulme's store was owned by themselves.

The fire is still smouldering on the site of Messrs Paget and Hulme's stables, amidst a mass of soap, oats, bacon, and sundries. The site of Peel's bottling store is marked by a quantity of broken glass and blackened blocks. Charred stumps aro all that remain of Mr Sheath's premises. Amongst those who distinguished them selves in their efforts to stay the fell destroyer, .were Messrs Jack Heatoo, O. M, Quintal (whose hand is badly burnt), Jas. Home, W. J. Clarebrough, and Mr Tho3. Wrigley. Mr Wbitcombe supplied refreshmentgratis to those who applied for it. The losses arc estimated as follows: -Mr Sheath's pre mises (uninsured), £60 to £70; Mr Peel's stock (£3OO covered), upwards of £400; Mr Bromfield'a books and papers, value un known; the Ledge A.O.F. books in Mr Peel's store; Mr Whitcombe, about £30 in damage to stock and fences; Messrs Paget and Hulme, buildings covered: stock, amount unknown. Tbe amended list of insurances is as follows: —Mr Clarebropgh's building, Fire Insurance Association, £150. Mr Peel's stock, tioutb. British, £300. Messrs Paget and Hulme's buildings, London and Lanca shire, stable, destroyed, £40 ; store, par tially burnt, £100) Bhop, portion pulled down, £60. The agent here has been in structed to rebnild. Stock, Royal, £200. An enquiry into the origin of the fire will be held before Captain Tovey. Coroner. "Bay of Plenty Time*,"

WINE AND TEMPERANCE.

(To tie Editor.) Sir,—The paragraph in your issne of '"jo 16tk on Fie«ch wine is scarcely cl^r iJ your temperance readers. If you mean by " uaadulterated juice of the grape," thai is j; the wine unfermented, I agree with yon, 1 because it will not intoxicate. II you mean ordinary French wine— fennenled- 1 thoa tho evidence of nearly all tlia leading medical men in London is against yem statement, for since the pasetsg of Mr Gladstone's Wino Bui, ti . encounge the use of French ■ wises in confectioners' shops and other ijCHJsg house -nearly all admit that there ia more excessive drinking amo»gt women d &< middle and higher classes who art sip posed to take them, thin was eVer know before the introduction of theso winoi.bt sale, and not content with wines sligMf intoxicating, they pass them by ain;r■»■ time, and bny brandy from the grocer, i'm completing the downfall begun by drinking French wines.

Mr Thomas Fletcher, of Warringte Lane, baa published the lecture on "»; Acting Domestic Help," which he delivers before the Manchester Scientific Studenft, Sociity and in other place*. The lectaia a entirely of a practical character, b^aM upon the economical house-keeping ct t:: future. Mr Fletcher considers that thorn* gifts of invention to society, which sb destined to work as great revolutions -it domestic affairs as the grist mill, th« cores em, and the power loom did in their siK'ij days, are the telephone andthepetfow }> pneumatic despatch, ty aid'oi'tKK! marvellously fitting devices, the mm labours, tho drudgeries, and the aw' ■ making toils of house-keeping w * taken from' the' home and consigned w an organised establishment, and.,tu(n ; brought under subjection, to steam a"" electricity, by combined effort and inn? line. Mr Fletcher is a man of iavetmw ' genius, and has obtained patents wWHg of ,hii clever inventions viz , his ow acting domestic help," bis "Inw- JI oven," and his well known ""Waning!" stove." Several of the latter are on, '•'■** at the shop of Mr Kobert Peace, ol .&>•& land-afreet, who is commissioned to W»»» particnlars respecting the working ti > DB same, which is simple and easy.' -| Medical Practitioners will find that jiW dpient phthisis, chronic bronchial aifetij'* complicated asthraatical complaints, ami in mw cases who'e the breathing powers aro W'fffiJ Bod and constricted, with correspoi"*l! loss of vital energy, &c.
