leaving a profit of 1,9171. 13.., 65., which, added to the
balance of the previous year, made a total of 3,1611. 7s. 3d.

terially increased, and a considerable sum had been ex-
pended in improving tho shipping accommodation, and with
this view the works alluded to at the last meeting had been
carried cu. The report having been unanimously adopted,
the meeting separated.
THE TAX ON RAILWAY FARES.—Extraet from the
minutes of a meeting of general managers of railways held
in the Euston-station, 22u5 flay: Mr. Harding draws
attention to the position of those companies who are
aggrieved. by the interpretation put upon clause 9 of 7 and
8 let., cap. fti (providing an exemption from tax on fares
at and under ld. per mile), by the railway commiardonen
and the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, on which Mr.
Swift has reported that a remedy, by legislative enact-
ment, cannot at present be anticipated. Reaffived—That
the attention of the committee of the Clearing-house be
respectfully called to the unsatisfactory position of this
question, the railway companies being now refused all
exemption from tax on. excursion fares, though under Id.
per mile, except on the lowest fare—that is to say, if in an
excursion train running 100 miles the fares are is., 6e., and
34., it iconly an the 31, fare that the commissioners will
?rant exemption from tax. A !penalty is thus practically
imposed on giving any but the worst class of carriage
accommodation. This will be much more severely felt in a
• shape, as the excursion train traffic to the Exhi-
on increases, and should therefore, it is submitted, be
baked to before each incursions coilmenoB."
