SCOTTISH CENTRAL.
A special meeting was held at Perth on Wed-
nesday to consider the bill for an amalgamation
with the Dundee and Perth Company. Mr. R.
Bruce presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the approval of the
bill, said that notwithstanding the opposition by
the North British and the coalowners of Fife, it had
passed through the committee of the House of
Commons, and the opposition had been entirely un-
successful.
Mr. MACDUFF seconded the motion, which was
agreed to.
It was also resolved to approve the bill to enable
the Scottish Central to make branches to Plean
mineral fields, and also the Devon Valley Bill, for
the creation of preference shares, and giving the
Scottish Central a permissive power to work the

DUNDEE AND PERTH.
A special meeting was held at Dundee on Wed-
nesday to approve the bill for amalgamation with

those they had first rejected. The directors be-

public.
The bill was unanimously approved, and thanks
were given to the directors for their efforts in pro-
moting it.
