TRAMWAY AND SUBURBAN LAND COMPANY. - ANNUAL MEETING.

The first annual meeting of the City of Auckland Tramways and Suburban Land Company (Limited) was held at noon today, in tho office, Lower Queen-street, Mr J. M. Clark (Chairman of Directors), presiding. Seventeen shareholders were present. After the usual opening formula had been gone through, the Secretary (Mr F. A. White) read the following report and balance sheet :—

Gentlemen,-Your directors, in submitting this their annual report, while they cannot re commend any dividend being paid to the share holders, feel the reverse of being discouraged. They know that a dividend could not yet be expected, ana the accounts, which they now lay before the shareholders show the Company to be in a very satisfactory condition. Tramways —Your directors anticipated that a portion of the iine would by this time have been oponcd for traffic, but an unavoidable de lay occurred in the registration of the Company, and a further delay in commencing the work, from the engineers being disappointed with the suitability of local material for the concrete re quired an order for Portland cement had there fore to be sent to Kngland by wire. The plant and cement for permanent way for both circuits, and the cars and harness for the western circuit, have now arrived. A contract has been let for laying the line of the western circuit, wUli the exception of College Hill and a small portion of Karanuahapo Road; the former was excepted from he Knißoftdpa?tof the lino for horso traffic, and if found necessary an underground cable ran afterwards be laid. Tenders will now forthwithi be called for that portion, of the line? for the Jervois Eoad connection, tmd for the Ponsoaby stables and car-house. Your directors intend to open the line for traffic as constructed via, the section between Queen street Wharf and Karangahape Road in about five weeks, and botween Queen street Wharf and Ponsonby. viz., Freemans Bay before the whole circle can be completed, as soon as the works of the City Council In Karangahape Road are finished, traffic on the entire circle can bo opened in a few days. The opening of the Eastern Circuit for traffic is more uncertain, the City Council has decided upon extensivo alterations m the levels o f Upper Symond-street and Kyber Pass Roaa and arrangements have not yet .been completed •with the Boroneh of Parnoll, jt is anticipated that such will be satisfactorily concluded in time for the work of construction to go on concurrently with tho rest of the circuit, if not, it is proposed to work the line between Queen-street and Newmarket via Kyber Pass ""intension to Onehunga.—Your directors have been urged to extend the Newmarket liae to Onehunga, and they have replied that thpy look with favour on the proposal, but in the first instance tho lines now contracted for must be completed, and tho land owners, on tho line of the proposed extension, must show their in terest in the matter in a practical way by taking shares in the company.

Landed E9TATE. — Your directors havo blttierto not forced tho sale of the company s auburban estates, and aro satisfied that in so doing they woro conserving the interests of the Bhawflolders. Remuera Estate: Prices were fixed on tho various allotments in this estate, end several sales have been affected during the year at a satifactory profit.. Tho remainder are now being further subdivided, and iviU be offered by auction at an early date, with tho certainty that the wliolo wjll be sold to advant age St. Holler's Ketato'. Several allotments have been sold during the year at satisfactory prices, but yoar directors havo iiatpuj&ett top. gale of this property, feeling assiirod that when tho tramway waß opened to Newmarket, and fllineofomnibussesput on between that place and St. Helier's, as is contemplated, that much better prices could tlion be realised. Northcote Estate: No portion of this property has yet been sold, but it has boon docided to offer a portion by auction, but believing in the great prospeotiva valuo of tliiß property, your directors will noli allow it to bo sacrificed.

Finance.—ln this your directors havo been aomewhatdisappolntcd. Thoy expected, in the first instance, toliave been able to sell sufliciont land to enable arrangements to have been inado for constructing the tramway without calls upon the shareholders for more than 10s per Bhare; bnt although your directorsareconfident as regards the ultimateiesult, sales could not be made to advantage with sufflcientrapidity to at tain that position. Latterly it was thought feasible to borrow, on the assets « the Com pany, sufficient to pay off all the liabilities of the Company, and to construct both circuits of tho tramway withoutoalling up more than the sum stated, and it is believed that such could still be done, but as the western circuit must now bo laid forthwith, your directors have decided to make callfl of 2s 6d every three months, believ ing, howevor, that before the third call of 2s fid ti payable that thoy will havo arranged for a loan not only to pay off all engagement and Complete the two circuits contracted for, but to carry out such extensions as your directors may consider deoirable. An examination of tho nroflt and logs account will show that tho profit made on the «ale of land has more than mot the heavy charges tor Interest and for working tho ferry servico-a very satisfactory result whsn the quantity of land sold is considered.

Tbamway Manager.—ln January last Mr Thos. A. Padan was appointed Genera] Manager to the Company. Your directors congratulate tho Company oa scouring his services. a9 he has had conaidorabje experience in tho manage iinnnt of railways. Boforo commencing his duties in Auckland M?Pudan visited the south with the view of inspecting tho tramways, and their working. He was met oji the part of all who had to do with tho managonient of thoao tramways with the greatest courteaj-, and your dfeectorafeel indebted to those gentlemen for much valuable information which wil) be of Kroat use in organising the service on your lines Another result of Mr Pudan's visit to the south is that your directors aro wore con vinced than ever that tramways can be worked in Auckland with profit, and they hope soon to eeoyourtramwayßrecognloedaa very valuable property. Retiring Dikectobs,—You have at this meetioe to appoint four directors, in place of SlssS Wm Aitkin. Grave. Aickin, Joseph Beiwett, and Henry Brett, who retire in accord once with the articles of association and being eligible, offer thsmsclvos for re-election. You have also to appoint an auditor for thoourrent yelr.inplaeeof Mr J. Waymouth. who retires, but is eligible, and offers his sorvices accord ingly. ■ , For the directors, J. M. CtApK, Chairman, Auckland, 31st March, 1881.

The Chaibman in moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. Gentlemen-^ The report of the directors and the balance sheet have purposely been made so full, and give such an exact explanation not only of the position of the Company, but also pf the intentions of the directors that ip moving their adoption it is scarcely necessary for me to make any speech, There are, however, two parts of the balance-sheetthatl willslightly refer to. The first is as to the profit which has been made on the sale of land. I say that the Direc tors can congratulate the Shareholders that that profit has not only paid the heayp charges for interest which the Company has had to meet, but also the expenses to con nection with tho ferry services. As the Shareholders are awara, a ferry service has been kept up during the summer months with St. Helier's, and latterly ftlsp with Northcote, tho intention being *ot to mako a profit in vunnmg that service but in reality po add to the value of these estates of the Company by bringing them more under notice, rro nlly" peaking, the loss under that service might Lye &m added to tye cos;o the land. Btill, when It can be met out of tho profit from the mte of lan 4bo much he better. Tho amount against ths landed estate in the balancc-sheot js the balance which theao estates cost after deducting at cost prioe the parcels sold. Tbero is another item to which-1 would refer, and that is the amount of calls unpaid—£4,lso. Well, that looks rather a large sum, but I am glad to be able to state to the meeting that, roughly speaking, about one-half of that amount has been paid during this month, or at all events will be paid imme diately, so that now I may say that Com nanv is in this position—that it has a pald -5p Capital of over £40,000. And I have no doubt that when we get fairly under weigh, not only as regards the gale of the landed estates, but also when the tramways'are working we shall be'able both to see a gain upon the expenditure and dividends become payable to the ghn re holders. I have much pleasure in moving that the report and balance-sheet as read be adopted. '' ,; " - The-motion was seconded by Mr "F. Laekish. ;■■■ 'r ' "!',*,, no Questions having been invited, tylr is. Q, RoUeets asked for an' explanation of the itenja £637 7s 5d for legal and other ex-; penuae, and £164810s 2d loss. The ChaibwaS said that these were ox. pensos connected with the landed estates,

changing the name of the Company,'and negotiations for land. The profit and loss account extended over the whole period, and in reality showed two years' expenses, al though the Company had been registered eighteen months. The preliminary expenses had been carried on.

Mr W. Aitkex : Tho stamp duty charged by the Government was the principal item. The Chairman : The amount standing to the debit of the profit and loss account ia £1,639, being the expenses connected with the formation of the Company. The motion was then put and carried. Messrs William Aitken, Graves Aickin, Joseph Bennett and Henry Brett, the re tiring directors, were re-elected, and Messrs John Waymouth and John Milne were appointed auditors at a fee of ten guineas each.

Tin's concluded the business of the meet ing.
