And the Taff Vale Railway, which most nearly
resembled this railway in the character of its length,
had cost 20,5001., and the traffic produced 411. per
mile per week. Now, the cost of the Taw Vale
would be, for the 35 miles which they proposed to
open, 12,795/ per mile, including docks, &c. The
town population along the Taff Vale Railway, was
55,000, and its length 38 miles. The receipts
per mile per week were 411., or 41,9201. per
annum. The company paid four per cent,
on some portion of their preference capital,
and five per cent upon another part; yet they divided
i/. 7s. 6d. percent. on the original shares. Now, the
Taw Vale town population was 91,000 ; the traffic in
coal, lime, and culm, &c., was ;estimated to be con-
siderable, and he firmly believed there was no line
in the kingdom that would show a lower cost per
mile, or pay a better dividend. The Hon. Gentle-
man then proceeded to move the adoption of the re-
port as altered. _ _ _

Mr. J. WILKINSON (solicitor) inquired the names
of the directors who were present when the original
report was agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN said himself, Colonel Henderson.
Mr. Wilton, Mr. Tite, and Mr. Uzielli.
Mr. J. WincaNsoN wished also to know the names
of the directors present when it was altered.
The CHAIRMAN said himself, Mr. Chaplin, Mr.
Townsend, Mr. Wilton, Mr. Woolmer, the Hon. Mr.
Scott, and Colonel Henderson.
Eventually, after much noisy discussion, the mo-
tion' for the adoption of the report, was adjourned
for further consideration, and thanks having been
voted to the Chairman, the meeting terminated.
