MILLWALL IRONWORKS
DAY.) COMPANY (LIMITED)
(THIS

The first ordinary general meeting of the pro-
prietors was bald at 1 o'clock, at the London Tavern ; Sir
JOllll HAT, M.P., in the chair.
The report, having been issued some time before, we.
takes as reed.
The COLIMA!c in moving the adoption of the report and
aooounts observed that oonsidering the very short time the
company had been at work they were of • very favourable
character. The period that the company had been at work was
ander six mouths, and yet there had been • profit of 27,000(.
He thought the shareholders would concur with him todeclare
• larger dividend, as so much capital remained to be celled
up. The price to be pail for the conceni, namely, 375,0001.,
had been reduced to 369,0004 The profitable working of
the concern area due in • great degree to their excel-
lent manager, Mr. Langley—(sheen)—in addition to which
they had obtained through that gentleman, a very good ad.
ditional dock. As regarded the delay in the building of the
Northumberland, which had been comlained of in parlia-
ment, be must say that the blame of that did not rest with
that company.
Mr. JOHN FLOM°, Ili director, seconded the motion,
which was pat and carried unanimously.
A dividend of 6s. per share, being at the rate of 12
theme
cent per annum, was declared, payable on and after the
31st Patent.
If MEM Quilter, Ball, and Co. were appointed auditors of
the compan.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman and his colleagues, and
the meeting separated.
