This is the partiai and impertect report the Directors, we must say, apparently in good faith, have been acting upon, this is the reâ€" port, that, being so much rt variance with early tes‘s, and other tests, and a great bedy ot public opinion, mure or: less wellâ€"informed, has aroused a sus ‘ picion or distrust that will not be alâ€" _ The chairman, Mr McKay, very sucâ€" sinctly placed before the meeti~g, the view taken by the Directors of the | situation, _ They were genumely anâ€" : xious to make the best use of the trust | confided in them by the sharcholders ‘and what they bad done had been ‘prompted by that motive. He made i allusions of course, to matters that | had appeared in the press, and regretted certain statements which he alleged, were either misleading or falze. We beg to assure Mr McKay that our reâ€" marks in the Review are to the best of var knowledge, netler misleading nor false. Dr Jamieson presented the report of Messrs McComb and Davidson which was in exact detail showing locality, depth of marl or clay, how covered it atall, date of examination and so on. The report is a convineing document asto the quantity of marl in this loâ€" cality, and bears out the sta:ement of Mr Blue, the wellâ€"known mineralogist made some years ago that ‘* We had a Klondyke under our feet." * °00,18 a Dlank, but it bas been learnâ€" ed that the system of baring a comâ€" mittee of three of the Directors form the executive, has been abolished.

This k. o. l snn "â€"u0 uh. °5 m «o4 oi P Following is a letter of Mr Cobbleâ€" dick, one offthe Directors, taken from an Exeter paper. To the Editor of the Exeter Times : Dear Sirâ€"Rogarding the Durham mill {National Portiwnd Cement Co.) I wish to sar, I am not in favor of movâ€" ing the planat, as long as it bas sufficâ€" ient marl asround Durbam. We, the uirectors, were told by our manager The town has selected Mr Hassan as an engineer likely to be acceptable to the Board, to settle the points in disâ€" pute. wi:h him." &c, till the thing becomes monotonous and destructive of valuaâ€" ble time. A tendencyâ€"is obseryable to talk as if Mr McKechnie was responsible for all early delinquencies. This is maniâ€" festlvy unfair. _ No Director on the company and few shareholders know as we know what trouble and annoy ance falls to the lot of the 1jocal Direcâ€" tor. Hundreds of times visitors, conâ€" siderate and otherwise, find out Mr. McKechnie would ‘"lize to see the works,"‘ with him, +*Would like a talk At the same time we may point out some curious things. To sell the stock cost over $70000 ; the engineer‘s exâ€" pepses â€"always supposed to come out of Cowham‘s $250,000â€"came to oyer $60,000 and came out of the funds of the Company. This, with $5000 each to three directors, or was there five, makes a nice little sum toadd to the $250,000 given for promotion. Get your pencil. There was a raking of early tranâ€" sactions in which the interests of the sharebolders were not considered. This is not practical now : all are satâ€" isfiled and know to their cost how money was squandered Fancy a manager getting an unbreakable contract for 3 years at $5000.00! a year and:live in Toronto!! The point is to safeguard the sharebolder‘s now, and not destroy the rising hope that a diviâ€" dend is in sight. | __Mr Delano, one ofthe minor enginâ€" eers at the incept.on of the plant was ,mentiuned by toe officia‘s here as a suits ble engincer,. but we contend now, as we contended as the meeting, that this would be a mistake. â€" There are two views about the Lake, . ne is Mr Farr‘s that the supply of suitable marl will soon give out, the opposite view is that there is suitable marl for years ye*, _ Mr Delano is known to be & supporter of the firss of these views consequently his jadgment will not carry conviction, to the very large number of shareholders who on good ground, take the oppusite view. 1 im ‘ that there was no sufficient i ;opinion has been obtained of the qual: .

Make the boys and girls happy by buying them a pair. The first directors meeting that I attended was about one year ago. You will remember I took the place of Dr. Malloy after his death, The debt on the plant was then $140,000 and the bank would not supply us any more cash to go on with the work without further seeurity, so my installation cerâ€" emony consisted in my signing with the rest of ths directors our personal notes to the <xtent of $30,000. This was a hard dose but it had to be done to save the mill from the auctioneer‘s hammer, Now one year his gone and l1 can conâ€" fidently say that every man on the board has done his duty to the company, and this has resulted in the fact that we only owe the bank $30,000 instead of $140,000 and the plant has been kept in first class condition, besides some imâ€" «Pmd L oo CC OI0N S i and when it became known in Durham the town council (all honor to them ) did right.
