a _tk«rfty Given to Soli,

_,X extraordinary meeting of tho eharo ' holdonoftko *.bav< Company was hold at to-dsy, Dr. Campbell (Chairman o! ' Erectors), presiding. Some HO shareholder. trere present. The CuaieMa.v, in introducing the busi nees of the mcotinjf, said:—Gentlemen,— ' «i You hava been called together to-day ii: i- -pnformity with (no requirements of the i _j.tj<;iee of Association of tho Company i- w |,i c ii provides in clause S.I, sub-soction 13. ■ « t _ a disposing of tho ontircly of the Com -1 n.ny>"'«ets'and business, eitbor by amal ■ Luifltion orotlK rwiso, shall be subject to tin ' Approval of tho member.", to be expressed by ■ igrogolution-at a genoral mooting.' Youi directors having entered into a provisional ajrreeuioßt with tho Govornttient for tin gio ef V WT railwiy> if l>ooo«nos necessary tii»t shareholders winction tho proposed salt ssin tormflpf the Articles of Association, nnd for this .purpose wo are now assembled. Xko circumatanccs which hnvo caused your clircctors to ask this authority from yon 1 shall briefly recapitulate, first recalling to yjur memory tho initiation of tho under t ikin". Tho iir.st prospectus was issued in joptombor, 18S1, and 1 think 1 am Wirranted in stating that tho names on the Provincial Directorate were suliicicnt wiiarantoe to tho public of Uio bona Jules of ?no undertaking, nornsed I add, also of the Hiof "ituo Directorate that tho prospects bald forth would bo realised. You arc j.vnro that, but for tho large concessions in land promisod by tho native chiefs toward endowingtho second section of the lino, the ! undertaking would not have beon entered upon, but co confident were your directors C iat the concessions would bo duly f orthcom- j mgin addition to thoso provided by law under the Railway Construction Act, that they determined to proceed with the construc tion of tho line. They did so in the belief that they would be ablo to place before the Home public a prospectus jof thoir railways, which would not only secure a sale of its shares, but also aecuro a sale of its deben turesi How theso hopes were frustated by the tetion of tho late Government, the painful history of the long and fruit lew negotiations as containod in tho report laid before you of loth June, 1883, fully informed you. Tho directors, jeeing no hope of a favourable solution of the question at issue with tho Goxornmont, were driven to the necessity of endeavour ing to float the Company's debentures upon the security of tho first section only. You aw aware that the Enjrlish public did not respond to the appal, so your directors had to face th 6 position of having to liquidate the heavy liabilities which had been incurred. Tho question was how to meet these without having to make farther calls on shareholders. A deputa t,on from your Board proceeded to Welling ton to interview tho presont Government, who at once recognised the importance of the work as a colonial undertaking, and promised every assistance, and the directors belioved that by tho introduction of the District Railways Bill all difficulties would bosurmounted,And they would have beenso. but, unfortunately, tho Legislative Council ws fit to disallow that Bill. Con wquent upon its rejection tho Lower House passed tho following resolutions :— "fiat the Government bo roquested to come to the best arrangemeut it can with the District Railway Companies with the view of the acquisition of the lines by the colony, such arrangoment being subject to tie ratification of Parliament.' Under thfereaolutionyourdirectorshavo come toan arrangement with the Government as em bodied in a provisional agreement^ which they ask you to sanction being carried out. I shall now summarise tho heads of the agreement, as I presume you do not wjsh me to wade through tho 50 pages which I hold in my hand. 1 may «ay that the terms arranged wero not agreed to by your directors without having foneht the best battlo they could. (1) Tho Government purchases the whoJo of tha first section at cost to tho Company, and pays Company's expenses minus interest and some small items, making payment in 4 per cent, debentures, having a currency of 20 years. (2) The Company undertakes to finish the first, section, and have it opined, say iv October. (3) The Govcrn nratnys the cost of lands taken and to Wtiiea by tho railway for works and e_tioM,tleo cost of transfer of title. (4)

TlaCoapiny undertakes tho construction lie second section (Litchfield to Mmt) on tho basis of boinjj hold free fnm loss in financing, and the lino fcwnes the property of tho Government. Thei directors regret that tho terms om- Wied will hardly return shareholders' capital in fall, but they trußt that tho small sacrifice which will have to bo mado will be borne with equanimity, if not with cheerfulness, when tnoy know that tho ob ject for which this Company was formed villbofieoured, and t!iiit the through line fom Auckland to Rotorua will be an ac complished fact within two and a-half years, lad that before expiry of present year trains will be running to Oxford, with a daily connecting coach to Ohinctnutu. Your directors have assumed that—given the rail way ia made to Rotorua-shareholders are content that the line passes out cf their kanda. The agreement mado finally dis pose* of all future liability of "hareholders : no open question remains, and it only rests with your directors to carry out the under taking under the financial arrangement MdewiththeGovernmont. Ibegtomove, ' That the Directors bo empowered and ttthorised to contract for the sake or lease of the whole of the Company's property up on the terms expressed in a draft contract between the Government and the Company, to be submitted to the meeting." Mr Peacock, M.H.K., seconded the •notion, and on his suggestion tho word 3 "with auch modifications as may be deemed necessary " wire added to it. In answer to Mr Garliok the Chairman "idthnt there would be no lease ; it was an •Isolate sale. In reply to Mr Harper ho •lio said that the shareholders would be tlnnded their money as noon as the Com pany's debentures had been sold in London. The motion was then put and carried iMnimonsly. On the proposition of Mr Harpkb, a ™rty vote of thanks was then passed to JMCnairman and directors for tho manner 11 which they had brought the negotiation with the Government to a successful tone.

In acknowledging tho compliment the Wjhbman said it was an onerous task, but nuachieved at last. "bisconcluded the business.
