It has even come to our hearing that. certain per- sons had said we had "no business” making such and such statements. Nuwwhunitcumes to a matter of dictating in us what is our business, and what is nntour business. in the running nf this paper we make a de- cided protest against any such un- warrantable interference, and more than that we will act in strict con- formity with our own judgment as to what we shall publish and what we shall conceal from the readers of our paper. If the company and the man- agement are doing the right thing they have nothing to conceal: if they are not doing right, it it our business then to demand an explanation, and no reasonable corporation should hesitate for a moment in giving all the facts to shareholders. There should be perfect harmony between the com- pany and the stockholders. and any effort on the part of either to clog; the wheels of progress is a detriment to \“l’ . The mill was built here three or four years ago. It was capitalized at a million dollars of which one-fourth, or $250,000, was appropriated by the pro- moters. This was looked upon at the time vs a huge swindle, and a vigorous protest was made by the citizens of Dnrh tm and vicinity, The matter was explained by Mr. Cowh'tm, and the matter was allowed to stand. We had 0759. 00) towork npm, b it thi8 money had to be raised. Stock was floated, and. for a time. let us say the The cement question has become an all-absorbing topic and stockholders throughout the Province, as well as the citizens of Durham and vicinity, are deeply interested in the outcome of the action instituted some time ago by the majority of the Directors. Every week we have enquires regard- ing the movement and from the gen, eral feeling of the stockholders we. know that the Durham cement in- dustry is a question of great im- portance to the .1800 shareholders scattered over the length and breath of thislrovince. It ifllot our husmess to conceal any- thing. On the other hand it is our desire to reveal the truth of the situation just as far as we can lay hold of it. In this particular crisis, when We don’t feel certain that everything is just right, it seems our hounden duty to investigate the circumstances and reveal to the shareholders the truest condition we can of how things are going, by so doing use our best efforts to safeguard the interests of the men and women who put their money into the concern in good faith believing they would some day soon get a return on the investment. A Challenge to the Board of Directors to Allow Publica- tion of Resolutions. In giving the information we are acting in opposition to the wishes of some of the company who more than once on previous occasions brought us to task for making statements to the public that they considered should not have been revealed. It was not the public’s business, they ssmetimes maintained, and the less the share- holders knew about the working of concern the better it would be. We confess here that weihave yielded on some occasions to remain silent on the points that were of real concem to every man who has a dollar in- vested. We confess that we did wrong in being tied in any way from giving at all times the truth as we saw it, and the' “whole truth” when In order to make the matter plain to many who are not fully posted on the subject we may have to repeat many things that were previously said in this. To those who have not had an opportunity of reading our previous articles we make no apology for so doing; to those who follow us from week to week, we simply ask their in- dulgence. Our object is to get the proper information into the minds of stockholders in order that they vote intelligently on a great question which involves a. straight outlay of their money of $750,000. Durham Stockholders of the National Portland Cement Company TWughly Roused over the High-Handed Action of the Directors. IS THERE A NIGGER DURHAM, OWL, THURSDAY, NOVEIBER23JSO5. IN THE FENCE? ter with such results that every one 9 here is more than ever convinced that 'we have within easy access of the works a sufficient quantity of the raw material of excellent quality to keep lthe mill running for generations to 'come. The excuse of there beinga scarcity' of raw material is now thor- oughly exploded in the views of all, and all in the immediate vicinity of the works are more than ever curious to find out what kind of nigger is now in the fence. ! The discontent felt by the members :of the Council and Committee here‘at such refusal being made on the part of ‘the Company is now acting as a boom- erang, and from a resolution sent in by Secretary Ehrbardt and published in [this issue they are evidently endeavor- *ing to right themselves up in the eyes (Continual on page 4.) 25 per cent. of water did’nt help it very much in floating. Ultimately, however, the construction work went on. and in due time we had in Durham what we believe to be one of the best, if not the best, marl cement mill on the continent of America. Of course we mean for capacity. which was to be 1000 barrels a day, and let us say right here that this summer we have averaged more than that amount for some months. The mill was in debt when it was completed, and this had to be paid off out of the earnings. This liability together with inexper- ience of workmen, breakage of machinery, destruction by lightning and other causes made the mill a pro- fitless concern for the first two years of its running existence, and when no dividends were forthcoming the stock went down to about 160 on the dollar. This year everything was in order and from the very first turn of the Wheels in April last up to the present time, the mill has been a money-maker. Let us illustrate, At the beginning of the season there was a bonded debt of $127,000 against the mill besides the company OWed the bank $13,000 for borrowed money, borroWed to pay ex- penses of salried officers and other claims during the period the mill was not operating. This made in round numbers $140,000 of an actual, visible. pressing obligation to be met by the company. Even the most hopeful of us felt that the debt would never be discharged, and a not uncommon opinion was that the Company would he forced to go into liquidation at a very early period, Such was not the case liOWever, and at the present time, the bonded debt is reduced to $30,000 and the other bank debt has been wholly wiped out. Besides the pay- ment of this large indehtuess which totals up $110,000 the company has paid interest on the bonded indebtness an amount reaching nearly $7,000. It is scarcely necessary to say any- thing about the new explorers for marl being refused the use of the Company’s augur to make their borings. more than to prove with a reasonable de- gree of showing that the present man- agementand present controlling Board of Directors were not in harmony with the Town Council in promoting their investigations, and were apparently anxious to conceal the fact of there be- ing plenty of marl in the neighbor- hood of the works. Now in the face of this prosperity the Board of Directors, with the ex- ception of Mr. McKechnie, have a reso- lution on the hooks to move the mill elsewhere. Mr. McLaren, M. P.. of Stratford, has been ill during the sum- mer and is living at Banff. Consequ- ently he was not present at the meet- ings of the Board and did not vote on the question of removal. We under- stand he is opposed to any such action and will use his influence against it. \Vhy the members of the Board of Directors should come to any such de- cision regarding the moving of the laut is a puzzleto everybody. The only plea they offer is a scarcity of material. Some of the officials havegone out but coulen’t find any, and notwithstanding the efforts of Mr. McKechnie to con- vince them to the contrary they were deaf to his entrealies. The Town Council had to take the matter up and sent out a company to make borings and investigate the mat- i Did You Ever I See The Like ? .J. J.
