The report was adopt ed, the Chairman observing that " there was a considerable' increase 11oth in the income and number of tenants during the past year, and the small deficiency of income, which rendered it necessary to resort to the reserved fund, was to be attributed to their having to pay a dividend upon a large outlay of capital in the last year, which had not yet become productive to the extent of the dividend the shareholders received on it. This outlay had been in curred in erecting the station at the south end of the town."
