The annual meeting of the Cement ' Company was held in Toronto last} a Wednesday and a lively time was .passed in the discussion of matters | generally. It was no surprise to us to hear members of the board deny that } they had ever any intention of moving .;the mill to Port Colborne. They ad- imitted, however that an option had i been taken on the property and that they had done so on their belief that :niarlin the vicinity of Durham was } becoming exhausted. Their action i Was based on the opinions of Mr. Farr : u ho iepm ted that onl3 about enough 3material could be counted on to last 3 another year and a half. The written ireport of Mr. Farr indicated that an gexhaustive examination had lmen f made, in the vicinity of the works and {including all the probable locations ifor five or six miles around, even to iTobex-xnm-y lake which with the rest The Old Directors Have Given Up The Idea. And The New Board Goes In To Make Dividends. THE PRUNING PROCESS ALREADY BEGUN Mill Will Not Be Moved R. H. Mcwmiams. oi Owen Sound, is President. Was pronounced impractical) e owing to difficulties and cost of railway and insufficient material to justify the Company in the construction of a road. Townsend's Lake, Bell’s Lake, lakes in Bentinck and a small lake near Mt. Forest were all referred to and an un- favorable pronouncement made on each. Bell’s Lake was considered the best. but too for distant to justify the ")onipany in constructing a road. The report was a. lengthy one and of a sufficiently convincing character to lead those who heard it to see a possi- bility for apprehension on the part of the board. At the meeting on \Vednesday as well as at a meeting held Tuesday night in the Rossin House, Mr. \Voods the expert cement man, gave an ex- ceedinfly clear and convincing ex- planation of the investra ation made in \Vildei s Lake, and expressed his he- liet' that sufficient good commercial, marl still remained to last the mill for 1' a period of nine or ten years. Mixl \V oods was very cool in his address and those who listened to him on both occasions must have concluded that he had every appearance of honesty in his report. Mr. Frost who assisted Mr. \Voods was of the same opinion regarding the quantity and quality of 1 marl in the Lake. 1 Mr. \Voods evidently did not wish to say anything damaging to the pres- ent management, but after he had been heckled for some time by one of its men) 0011‘s, he mune out boldly with the statement that in his opinion the mill in Durham NEVER GOT A PAIR CHANCE TO SHO‘W \YHAT IT COULD D0, he belleVel it capable of doing much etter than it has yet done. He de- monstrated that the material brought down contained about 80 per cent of water, and that the evaporation neces- sary to remove the Water was the source of much loss in the extra. con- sumption of coal necessary. He be- lieved it possible to get much better returns by using less water in the slurry. menu in our mill at, a rate that, should yield a profit by way of providing for a. dividend. At the meeting on \Vednesduy Pres- ident McKay occupied the chair. in a very impartial manner. The pros and cons were entered into freely and each side was accorded full liberty to ex- press opinions. Up to six o’clock the meeting was rather stormy at times, but the stockholders were determined to give matters a. good sifting. They felt there was something wrong. and they wished to get at the bottom of it, somehow. Mr. Uobbledick and Mr. Cline endeavored to throw the agita- tion on the Durham papers. and both gentlemen denied that the board had ever thought of moving the mill, and moreover that the question of moving The chair was occupied by Mr. \V. H. Hoyle M. P. P., of Cannington. He had some fourteen samples of W’ildcr's Lake met-r1 examined by a, government; analyst.
