DM. COWEN'S NEWCASTLE SPEECH.
To rho 'diger.
Sir—The redicah of Weymouth are anxious that Mr. T.
B. Groves' offer should meet with • suitable response, and
they are willing to accept it on one condition, namely
,
that Mr. Cowen's speech should be published on • broad
sheet, together with e record speech, of one of England's
greatest living orators (John Bright), In which be asks the
nation to "abandon Its present foreign policy, or take
down the Ten Commandments from the altars of the
established churchem."
As the "glory and gunpowder " business cannot flourish
long, with the pure light of the teaching contained in the
Sermon on the Mount (applicable to statesmen, patriots,
and 1,6'11=129), and as they consider Mr. Bright's speech
partakes very largely of the spirit of that discourse, they
will be glad if Mr. Groves will fall In with the suggestion.
I will make myself responsible for one guinea, and my
friends will respond in their usual liberalmanner provided
the offer be accepted.—l am,

Mr. Own seconded the proposition, which was
declared carried, Mr. Stone and Kr. Adey protesting that
the proceedings were irregular.
The CHAIRMIAN maid Mr. Mill= retired by rotation from
the directorate, and be pr.,posed his re-election.
Mr. Arise proposed the election of Mr. Phillips, who he
said was the largest shareholder not on the Board, and
this was seconded by Kr. C. J. STONE.

ittilseorted by Mr. Adey, and the Messrs. C. J.. W. A., and

Mr. ADIS again called for the production of proxies, and
Kr. Brine repeated his advice to the Chairman that he
must take the single votes of those present and of those
represented by proxy, and said if any shareholder was
dissatisfied with the remit be could get four others to
join him in demanding a poll at which the accumulative
votes would be taken.
The CHAIRMAN perused the Act, and then said he was
satisfied that he must include the proxies.
Mr. ADIS' produced ten proxies, which were all
admitted. making 17 votes for the amendment to omit
paragraphs two and four of the report. Eighteen proxies
were produced in favour of the proposition for receiving
the report in its entirety, but Kr. Adair objected to 17 of
them na the greund that the stamp was not obliterated
with the dates, well as the signature.
Mr. Bugg advised the Chairman that the objection was
good, and only one of the 18 proxies was admitted. This
made only 13 votes for the proposition, and
The CHAIRMAN declared the amendment serried.
A poll was spoken of, but Kr. FARMER and Mr. NUNS
considered it wait quite unnecessary, and
The Cnatemax said he would call a special meeting of

carried. The names of Yr. Minns and Mr. Phillips (who
said be should not serve if elected) were again put to the
meeting tor the office of director and Mr. Phillips received
the same votes as before, making with the proxies 14.
There was some dispute as to the number for Mr. MMus,
and sifter a show of bands had been taken three times

the first show of hands, and said be alt ',gather objected to

Mr. Anne moved an amendment that the election be
adjourned.
Mr. C J. EITONI did not objet to the re-election of Mr.
Liveeey, whose ability he admitted, but he complained of
his dilatoriness in getting out the accounts. They were
not the accounts of the directors, as they bad never seen
them or had an opportunity of checking them. He did
not say that the accounts were not correct, but he wanted
the directors to have an opportunity of comparing them
with the Scares in the books to see that they were correct
It must be intimated to Mr. Limey that he must get oht
the accounts earlier.
Mr. Fauna endorsed what Kr. Stone had said, and the
CHAIIIMAN undertook to convey the feeling or the meeting
to Mr. Livesey.

THE GAS COMPANY'S HALF-YEARLY
MEETING.
LITILT TROCIRDINfa.
The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the
Arsrebolders of the Town and County of Poole Gas and
Coke C inipany (Limited) wee held In the Council
Chamber at noon on Monday. Mr. W. Pearce, Chairman
of the Bwrd of Directors, presided, and there were
present Moire. C. J. Stone. W. L 0. Adey. G. H. Gutch,
H. Fenner, F. Millns, T. C. A. Brine, G. Green, W.
Waterman, W. A. Stone F. A. Stone, E. N. Blanchard,
H. Burden. Phillips, o;4ton, Purnell, W. Penney, J. F.
Street, and J. Budden (Secretary). The Directors pre-
sented • report which stated. inter site, that :—The
directors had raised .£5OO more by debenture bonds, com-
pleting the £B,OOO loan authorised by resolution of Aug. 12,
1878. They have erected • large new cool store ood
propose to erect a new effuse and board-room, and adapt
the old office to • store-room, the present ofiice being
flooded occa.ionally at high tides—AlM) 8.. Pd. is owing
to the bankers the unexpended capital and the swerve
fund being so low that it has been necessary to borrow to
I meet current expenditure, gam companies supplying gas
for three months without demanding payment —They
propose to borrow £l.OOO more. From the new apparatus
greatly improved results have been obtained ; the gas has
averaged more than 10,000 cubic, feet per ton of coals, the
quality has improve& and the ammoniac"' liquor is now
available for manufacture, and is expected to produce
£lOO per annum.—Coals cost only 14s. 7ld. per ton &pied
15a. 04.1. in the previous half -year. and the half-year's coke
has brought AC instead of £OlO. The consumption of
gas has increased but not so much as usual, owing to the
dulness of trade. The gas consumed in Pools in private
dwellings is trifling compared with the shops. A
maximum dividend can be paid and £Bl Os. 11d, carried
to the belies*, and this the directors recommend. Gas
unaccounted for ham been reduced from 45 per cent to 134
per. cent.
The Cumulus wished to show how they had expended
the £1,060 raised by debenture bonds since they had
elected him to the office of chairman, and for this Purpose
the secretary had sketched • plan of the works they had
executed, also of the new office and board-room which
they hoped to get erected during the year. On this out-
lay they bad realised • profit of between £9OO and .4:300 a
Tsar, besides making • better quality of pa and improv-
ing their works. This directors would call a spatial meet-
ing for the purpose of getting powers to raise a further
sum of £l,OOO on debenture bonds, also to take into con-
sideration • letter from Lord Alingtort's agent, and at the
same time to consider what steno should be taken with
the Bournemouth Gas Coaspaay for taking P•mension and
laving down gas mains within their district, which they
had no right to do. The Chairman said he had received •
letter from Mr. George Word, who was chairman of
the company for • great aumber of years. and, in fact,
almost the founder of it, offering to take £3OO of the pro-
poised issue of £l,OOO debenture bonds, and another letter
from his eon (Mr. N. P. Lodgerd), offering to take £4OO of
the same. These letters were read, and also one from
Mr. Cash, secretary of the Bournemouth Gas and Water
Company, who stated—" Having been applied to to supply
esa to Mr. Parry's estate, as the property lies so contigu-
ous to our works, my directors thought it was desirable to
woods to ;he proposal, especially as it would scarcely be
worth while for your company to extend their mains so
far:
Mr. Herbert William Hibbs," wrote;—" You are doubt-
less aware that this praperty is laid out for building
sites, some of which are already taken. Under these
circumstances lam to enquire on behalf of Lord Alington,
whether your company contemplate supplying it with
gee.
The Csistaxt.a then proposed the adoption of the report
and account'.
Mr. Palmer. in seconding the adoption of the report,
said it was a moat highly satisfactory one.
Sir. C. J. Sroxit expressed his disapproval of the second
and fourth paragraphs of the report, which he said was
written by Mr. Dressy, and signed by the Directors. He
considered it altogether unnecessary to burden the com-
pany with another debenture for the purpo.e of building
• board-room alone: but he hoped that in • year or two
the company would be in • position to consider the erect-
ing of • manager's house and board-room out of profits, as
it was very desirable that the manager should reside on
the premises. He had wed the board-rem for 30 years
and bad net experienced any inconvenience, and it was
only flooded when there was • great tidal wave. Plenty
of storage could be obtained on the premises, and it would
he most judicious to postpone the question of taking up
£l,OOO for six or twelve months. He therefore proposed
an amendment that paragraphs two and four be excluded
from the report.
Kr. PRILLiPs seconded the amendment, and quite agreed
with Yr. Stone that the work should not be undertaken
until it could be paid for out of Profits. If they kept on
Issuing debenture bonds they would be • permanent mort.
pge on the or4inal stock.
Mr. ARMY mid the directors did not direct the weeks,
but it was done be cliques. When he and others were
present no business wee brmgbt forward. For six month*
he received no notice whatever of the meetings of the
&motors, and be had had six notice* of meetings to be
hold in Mr. Budden's back parlour, where they knew he
would not go.
Mr. FARMER said it was certainly quits time that they
had • better Board-room; but it might be advisable to
leave the whole thing over for • time. He quite agreed
with Mr. Stone as to necessity for the manager resid-
ing on the works; but they could not build out of profits,
as whatever they spent on buildings must be capitalised.
They might adjourn the question for say • year. He se
afraid he was one of the cbque spoken of Mr. Ad:7 ;
but he did the best he could cor the sharsholders, and the
business of the colniway was truuncted honestly sad
straightforwardly.
