Heport of the President Showed That the Past Year Was Most Successful -- Addition to fhe Works Proceeding. ; A satisiacsory year from all stand points was the "verdit" of the first annual general © meeting of the Cana- disp Locomotive company, 'a&'d in the offices of the works. here, ones Wednes Gay morning. i Tae directors were re-elected as iol: lows © . j= Aemilius Jarvis, Toronto, president; A. W.| Whedtey, Kingston, vice-presi- dent; KR. Hobson. Hamilton, James Redmond, Montreal: W. Y. Soper, Ottawa; F. G. Wallace, Pittsburgh, Pes J. L. Whiting, Kingston. Executive officers--~A. W, Wheatley, Kingston, general manager; J.) J Harty, Kingston, seeretary; J. L. Bir- kets, Kingston, treasurer. v The diuectors present at the meeting on y were : Aemilius Jar vis, A. W." Wheatley, Robert Hobson, W, X. Sopew, ¥. G. Wallace, J, I. Whiting. During the morning the directors were conducted through the works by Mr. Wheatley and witnesded the work of locomotive building and construe tion of the extensions. The aon report showed that {he wet earnings from operations and in terest received and investment: are $326,380.43. The fixed assets, real estate, buildings, plant equipment and good will, amount to $4,058 215.27, Capital stock amounting to $3,500, 000) 'ia divided into 35,000 shares of $100 each. The dividend paid quar sirly on the preferred stock, as an: nounced, is 1 per cent. The president, in the statement to the shareholders, mnnounces. that. fol: lowing up the policy of enlargement outlined lest summer, the divectors entered upon the construction of a new works, and purchased the machiny ery to increase the output of the com: pany from five (as with the old com pany to eighteen locomotives a month. Mr. Jarvis also noted the <difficul- ties Mr. Wheatley, the general man- ager, had worked under since he 'took the reins" of the company. A stranger in the city, to keep up his schedule of output, and push for- ward the enlargement of the plant, was & problem. He was faced with the shortage of skilled and ordinary labor. And further, when they were secured, the housing problem in the elty was conflicting. The president was glad, however, to re- vort tg the directors and share. holdars, that, at the recent meeting 6f the board of trade, a syndicate was furthered by citizens, to erect a number of mechanics' 'houses. This will relieve the difficulty, but when the plant is completed it will employ double the mumber of men, an they must be housed in the elty. me i At present the' company i§ work- ing at full capacity. and the con- tracts in hand will keep the works bysy for over a year. With ths completion, of the new works, it is hoped in the early months of 1913, the output and earnings will be con- siderably increased. The weathoar during the summer months, has in terfered greatly with the construe- tion of the enlargements. Th» gen- ing met each difficulty, with source and energy, and with application of common sense. and his energy has enthused whole staff. President Jarvis explained that $826,380, shown in the statement, as the amount of this year's opera- tions, included an amount of $106,- 009, which had been put into the firms associated with -the public offering of preferred stock and 'bonds. In September, 1911, the auditors in a statement, conveyed the informa- tion that it had developed that a certain contract, upon which =a profit of $105,000 was expected, would not yield this amount. It was here that the $105,000 cash was pif in by the financiers. In other words, one third of the work- ing year had been lost. Had the company had its whole year free for work on its old contracts, barring tho one the old company referred to, the amount that would - have been earned during the period men- tioned would have considerably ex- ceaded this $105,000. . ---------- -- PLEADED NOT GUIL the New York, Sept. 18 Rosenberg and G ' be fore' Justice Goff An the criminal court to-day, pJeaded not guilty, X 'hustled k to the Tombs. trial immediately, la Prairie, Man., Sept.
