HALF-YEARLY MEETING.—(THIS DAY.)
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of
this company was held to-day, at the London Tavern.
F. Somerville Head, Esq., occupied the chair.
The report of the directors, which was adopted, stated
that the receipts on the capital account during the past
half-year amounted to £2,645, and the total receipts to the
31st of July last were £5,220,945. The outlay during the
halt-year consisted of the cost of fishjointing 12i miles of
rails, the conversion of 75 freight cars into wheat cars, the
laying down of additional sidings for the increased goods
traffic, and the proportion fairly chargeable to capital
of the cost of stone and iron bridges in substi-
tution of wood; those charges amounted altogether to
£7,859, making the expenditure on capital account
£5,019,302, leaving a balance of £201,643. The
revenue account showed that the gross reoeipts for the
past half- year amounted to £246,229; the working expenses.
including maintenance of way, taxes, insurances, and rent of
suspension bridge, £129,051, leaving a balance of £117,178.
From this was deducted £17,498 for interest on Government
loan, £34,658 interest on company's bonds, &c., £6,954 for
loss on conversion of American currency, £35,222 renewal of
rails, sleepers, bridges, arc., and £260 on account of Flam-
borough accident, leaving the balance from the half-year's
working £22,585. To this was added £5,228, the surplus
from the preceding half-year (after paying £8,816, the ex-
penses of the committee of investigation), making thebalanee
£27,823, out of which the Board recommend the payment of
a dividend at the rate of 1 per cent. per annum, leaving a
balance of £2,704. The gross traffic had increased by the
sum of £36,912, as compared with the corresponding half of
1861. The charge for the maintenance of way was now less
than it was during that period by £6,545. The working
expenses of the past half-year were consequently at the rate
of 52'41 per cent., as compared with 61.92 per cent, in the
corresponding six months. The locomotive charges were
now at a lower rate per mile than they had ever hitherto
been, and this reduction of expenditure had been carried
out notwithstanding that five new engines had been added
to the stock and that very extensive renewals and im-
provements had been effected in a very large number of the
engines, the whole cost of which had been charged to
revenue. A very serious loss, amounting to £6,954, had
been incurred during the last half-year, owing to the depre-
ciated value of the American currency, in which this com-
pany's proportion of the thorough rates were paid, and the
adverse exchanges at which remittances were made. For the
future it had been proposed to the Grand Trunk and Buffalo
and Lake Huron Companies to require that all freight going
from local stations in Canada to places in the United States
should either be prepaid, or, upon the property being
handed over to the connecting lines at the frontier, have an
addition made to the charges equivalent to the premium
on gold at the time. To adopt the same course with
" through " traffic was a more difficult matter, because the
charges ou that business could only be fixed in con-
cert with the American competing lines, as well as with
those connecting with the Great Western. The receipts
of the Detroit and Milwaukie Railroad had continued to
increase very satisfactorily. The net traffic of that line
for the year ending the 30th of June last amounted to
340,898 dols., which was more than sufficient to meet the in-
terest for that period on its first and second mortgage bonds.
The gross traffic receipts for 26 weeks from January the Ist
showed an increase of £21,153 over those of 1861. The ar-
rears of interest due to the Great Western of Canada Com-
pany for the loan of £250,000 now exceeded £100,000: The
directors were unanimous in appointing Mr. T. Swinyard,
who had been 15 years in the service of the London and
North-Western Railway, to succeed Mr. Brydges, as gene-
ral manager. Mr. Swinyard assumed the charge of the
line on the 2d ult. The accounts of the harvest in Canada
were of the most satisfactory character, and encouraged the•
hope that, in spite of the heavy drawbacks attendant upon a
civil war in the States, the home as well as the foreign
traffic, on the company's lines would continue to improve.
