KILLARNEY JUNCTION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held in
Dublin on Thursday ; Alderman Roe in the chair.
The directors' report ' stated that, by economy and
management, and the' increase of traffic during the last
year, the loss of 2,0191. in the revenue account for the
winter half-year; ending April, 1854, had been reduced
in the corresponding half of the present year to the small
sum of 155/. 10s. 2d., and the clear gain on foot of the
revenue account for the year ending April, 1855, after
payment of all outgoings for management, and interest
on Government loan and debentures, amounted to 7931.
The Great Southern and Western Company had agreed
to reduce the annual charge for working the line to
5,0001. They had also reduced by 5001. their charge
under this head for the last year. Under these circum-
stances the directors expressed their sanguine expecta-
tions that the proprietors would, for the future, be fairly
remunerated for the capital invested in the line.
The report and statement of accounts were adopted
without any discusFion, and after a brief conversation
the proceedings terminated.
