The Committee of Shareholders are of opinion that the
Directors would best consult the interest of the Shareholders, if they
would confine their advertisements to a fair consideration of the re-
lative valttes of the Direct Northern Amalgamation and the Eastern
Counties Company's offer. The amalgamation with the Direct
Northern lessens the calls, but gives no increase to the returns of the
line, takes nothing from the expense of constructing it, and adds
not one shilling to the value of the shares. Every sharebroker
knows, the proposition of the Committee would, if accepted and
carried out, in one week double the value of the shares,
and remove all the heavy responsibility of calls. If the calls up to
251. ruia the Loncl,3a and York Shareholders, what a meagre comfort
is afforded by the amalgamation with the Direct Northern, which
only relieves therernaining twenty-five.
The Directors seem to think the whole question between them and
the proprietary is, vehetheT the exertions of the Committee are stimu-
lated
by the Eastern Counties Company. The Committee think the
importantTh
point is I:he object they have sought to attain, viz., to add
t alue of the shares, and relieve the embarrassment of calls. py e
feel all the Directors' arguments as to the Committee being
rnouirsuhneents in the Minds of the Eastern Counties Company are de-
York Led when they state that they hold thousands of London and
leriarshares, and that f heir interest is that of Shareholders, and
had eholders only ; and they cannot help thinking, if the Directors
no other bias,, and .couli all view the question through the same
pecuniary mogul a, the y would arrive at sounder financial conclusions.
The Committee'fee.i. they owe it to themselves to state, that neither
as a Committee, r,or as individuals, are they party, or privy to, the
anonymous adve'rtir,ement attacking the Directors.
The Coo:mitt ee direct the attention of the Shareholders to one
simple point— r ay.rking the value of their exertions. If the London
and York Bill •succeed, the Shareholders who support the Coxi-
triittee are no'.; prejudiced. If the Eastern Counties York Extension
scheme sue' zeed, the Committee have secured for those who join
them the F • tern Counties Extension shares, which, in that event,
will undo- ithtedly be each worth 101. premium. Those who prefer the
Direct I'. jerthern Amalgamation will go to the Directors. Those
Who Pr act. the Eastern Counties offer will bring their Scrip to the
Cenizratee, and have It marked accordingly. ,
