Limited, since the starting of the Plant for 1906, was held on Thurs- day the 12th inst.. at the Company‘s head office in Dm ham. with the Pres- ident in the chair. All the rotary kilns and everything about the plant was running. Considering the short time the new management had to make repaixs and the bad condition in which they found the plant. the direc- tors were all highly pleased with the careful business way in which the affairs of the Company are being band. led. Energy Carr's Liver Pills Tonic Elixir Mr. McVVilliams, the President. has had the new clay siding put in and a reduction in the freight on clay which was very satisfactory to the directors considering What they had been pay- ing last year. The President in addressing the ‘ Board set forth the great advantages which has been arrived at since the in- stallation and changes in the wet end, reducing the moisture to such an ex- tent that there will be a great saving of fuel and will increase the output of the plant by at least 100 barrels per day. a The services of Mr. A. C. )Iaitland. late of the Imperial Portland Cement Co. Limited, of Owen Sound, had been secured as Secretary and he reported to the meeting that the bulk of the season’s output will be disposed of to our regular customers and that orders by wire, phone and letter are pouring in every day. The services of Mr. Chas. Lavelle as accountant have been retained. Mr. Geo. McGrane, who had charge of the installing of the Company 3 ma- chinery when the plant was built, has been placed as Superintendent of the catire maalacturing department. MacFarlane ($1 00.

The directors went over the plant carefully inspecting the changes made by the new management and expreSS- ed themselves as highly satisfied with the changes and the rapidity with which the work was carried on. They also took the engine and went. out to the Lake to inspect the dredge and how she was working. and found everythinglworking satisfactorily. In conversation with Mr. Ratz, one of the: old Board, he expressed himself while out on the dredge as to the great difference there was this year in hand- ling the material. Talking with the President he expressed himself, that it would be hard for him to believe with- out seeing it for himself how thick they were handling the marl after what had been told the old Board last year and the statements made at the Annual Meeting, and he said that in his opinion it would make a difference of 200 barrels per day of an increase without using any more coal. \ Prior to their motion to adjourn the directors expressed their heal ty ap- proval of the thorough manner .in which the President had conducted the placing of all the new heads of the dif- ferent departments and had given his personal attention to the overhauling and repairing of the mill. The outlook for the season of 1903. as to quality, quantity and price are exceptionally bright and the directors are looking forward with anticipation to a. profitable year.

The narrator held her audience spell-bound, and they were prepared for the most ghostlike proceedings, but were de- cidedly disappointed at the very un- ghoetly style in which it ended.
