NORTHERN OMNIBUS COM PANY.

At the annual fflWig cf the Northern Omnibus -uiiipan|fh.hi at the Mount Albert Hotel lastj|ht, Mr Bollard, Chair man of Dii'ect" l'H, res icled. The follow ing report of tliejftfectcrs was adopted : — We have muftjplciisure in meeting you with such a favprable report of our doings us that jus*, "jfa. You will notico that when your diregoM took oiiico they found a clelicit of £U% lis !)d on the profit and loss accoiuitjjosidcs this thero were out standing liaptics, which have been paid out of takjp in the four months end ing 30th N*hiber, to the amount of I*l4B 12s Id, and/" now meet you with a deficit of ±'929 Q?.,;._, showing a gain of £102 lis 2d, and hjpt not been for the. opposition of some afoiir friends in starting two oppo sition oJDßibuee_i and encouraging them (they atj'running them with no gain to tlieinsel|_ and certain loss to us), wo are certatyfiat vre should have not only shown a niU'lsmaller loss, but should havo been | on fcheYair road to declare a dividend. We consifcr the past four month? have been very encflteging to us all, . nd wo think that wliMtvo moot yoii again wo shall have all our liabilities wiped ofl*. Our expenses are comparatively small, and our receipts are increasing, wliilo tho prico of oats and bran, yi/eli have been abnormally high for four months past, bids fair lo bo just as cheap Slit has been dear. Tho plant is in first ilass order. As you doubtless know, w» lave boi-ght a new omnibus at a cost of 1126, ami though we wero unfortunate /bnough to lose a valuablo mare, tlio liorses f generally aro in bettor condition than ever they wero. The new stables have been erected on a pieco of land purchased for the Company at tho junction of the Now and Great North Roads at Avondale. They are very suitable buildings, alFording ample ac commodation for horses, omnibuses, and forage, and, with our town stables, we am now in a good position for carrying on the work of the Company. It is worthy of note that, notwithstanding the unpleasantness with some of our then shareholders over the purchase of this pieco of laud at Avondale and the lease of tho stables in Auckland, and the imputations by them on the reputa tion of your first manager and some of the shareholders, we have now great plea sure in informing you that we. have sold less than one-third of this land at Avondale for £25 more than we gave for tho wliolo; that is, we gave £250 for one aero and three-quarters, and wo havo sold less than half an aero of it for'£27s, thereby enabling us to reduce our expenses for stab ling at Avondalo to something like 7s per week. Previous to tho purchase of this land, and tho erection of those stables, we were paying no less than 26s per week for not one-third tho accommodation. With regard to the town stables, we pay £2 10s per week on a seven-years' lease for them, and we. had an offer of £4 per week for them during the remainder of our lease from a substantial man. So you will ob serve that those investments, recommended by your first manager, have proved to be very good bargains alter all. Wo may Rtate in conclusion that we aro determined to use every legitimate means in our power to mako this company a success. Tho balance sheet was as follows :— Profit -ni> Loss Account, From July 31 to November 30,1851.

TURKISH BATH COMPANY.

The annual meeting of shareholders of the Auckland Turkish Bath Company was held yesterday at Mr J. Milne's^ office, Mr G. Holdship presiding. Mr F. J. Farrell, Secretary, road tho report and balance sheet, wliich showed tho baths are still being worked at a slight profit. Trte balance to credit of profit and lflss after making allowance for every known liability is £127 18s 2d, and although we cannot re commend a dividondout of this sum, you will be pleased to know we have invested this and a part of our capital in thepurchase of tho section of land situate in Lome-street, on which wo purpose erecting new baths. The original cost of this property was £1,250; oil this we havo paid £350. Wo believo it has greatly increased in value. Wo believo we can erect a bathing establish ment in every way suited to tho require ments of our patrons for a sum inside our present uncalled capital. Tho rent of our present premises is increasing each year. Last year we paid the sum of £9215s rent, which is equal to over 9 per cent, (on £1,000) interest, and the accommodation is quite inadequate to meet the wants of our customers. Your directors are satisfied that with better accommodation and a more central position our receipts will be greatly increased. Many of our share holders are willing to increase the number of their sharei, and others are desirous to become shareholders on condition that now bailis are erected. During the past year tlte baths have been used by 3,240 gentlemeji, 500 ladies, and 62 children. Wo aro also Blad to inform you that by very many thepaths aro novv used regularly, and afford roScf in many complaints—in some cases nprfoct cures are ascribed to their use. Viry flattering testimonials to this effect will be printed in pamphlet form, and submittei to you shortly. We notice' that the Tujkish or hot-air baths are now being established all over England, tho Con tinent, Melfourne, Sydney, Christchurch, and Dunedic. This isasatisfactory proof that the public r/cognise how ploasant and useful they are. \je hope soon to be accommodated with baths equal to our requirements, knowing 06 wo do that their regular use is a certain/preventative of many cutaneous and otherdiseases that may be introduced into our midst. Your directors hope that when hinting, you next year it will be in our nevy promises. We now solicit your eo-operrtion and approval to enable us to accompish this desirable undertaking. One director (Mr Holdship) retires by lot, but is eligible and offers himself for re-election. You also have to elect your auditor for the ensuing year; and fix his remuneration.

The Chaiunan, in moving the adoption of the report, laid the profit was expended in paying off aie balance due on the property in Lorne-sti-ot. The debt was £900. The income from the property would this year pay the Interest.—Mr G., P. Piorpe, in seconding the adoption of the report, thought the directors had taken a wise step indetorminlng to at once utilise the central site they pqssfcssed, andbrecting baths there on. Tho present sito was unsuitable ; the baths wore iij an out-of-the-way place. The position selected for the new baths was about as central as possible. True, it was not in Queeh-sti'eet; but they must havo arrived at Ihis fact now—that everything qoulti potcontrein Queon-street; thesooner thoy disabused their minds of that the better. Knowing that; he was connected with tho baths, a gentiemon had that day submitted to him plans of baths which .ere to have Ijeen put up in another town, the probable! edst of which was £4,000 or £5,000. |Hd(Mr Pierce) had himself seen baths in Christchurch of a very suitable description. These baths had just been erected/antl opened at a coat of £1,500. The bAhs there were in ono story, and occupied a larger > area . than Tyaa by the Auckland Company; but /such baths, with accommoda tion,! cleanliness, and comfort, would do wy well for this city for many years to tome. They might put up baths simifar to those at Christchurch (with the exception that tho building would be a two sto*? oho), leaving a portion of the. ground, forfither purposes, or for expansion if heed bo.f It was incomprehensible to him that a to.fi like Auckland, well supplied with waW> should not have provided the boys in the schools with the means of learning th# art of -\vimming--one of the most essen tia things' in a'maritime country like this. Tie Council, ho. vever. were about to pro : vHe swiuiming baths now. The|)_opoßa_B6_ tlis Company would mean an additional out lay of nfoney. _t would.mean, heimagined, ddlinglip all |ho subscribed capital of the

Company. He thofght it would be readily collected ; in fact, Je and Mr Holdship had. already, during thahast week or so, received spontaneous offcrsif assistance froth share holders and non-aareholdor's who wished to see tho thing' brought to a head.— After some remarks from Mr A. layboume and the ChairmtJi, the mopn for the adoption of the 7eport was/Carried.— Mr G.
