tary schemes in connexion with their own, but never to
drive hard bargains, and the Bristol and Exeter line
and the Cheltenham Railway would bear out the accuracy
of this statement, and it was on a similar footing the pre-
sent agreement was sought to be carried out. It was
with that view the directors submitted the report which
the secretary would now read to them.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which set forth
the conditions of the proposed arrangement between the
two companies.
The report, on the motion of the CHAIRMAN', seconded
by Mr. HEYWOOD, was unanimously adopted.
The SECRETARY havivg read the heads of the agree-
ment, _

The CHAIRMAN then moved a resolution empowering
the directors of the Company to carry them iato effect.
A PROPRIETOR seconded the tesolution, and would
take the opportunity of asking who were to fix the fares
of the South Wales Company ? When the lease was
made, the power of fixing the fares would follow as a
matter of course ; bat till that period he wished to know
who were to fix them?

The CHAIRMAN took it for granted that the South
Wales company would do so. The line was to continue
in their hands till then, and of course they would regu-
late the fares for their own benefit. The Great Western
Company were only to work the line till the lease com-
menced.

After some discussion,
The CHAIRMAN said that the heads of agreement would
be submitted to competent legal advice, and everything
doubtful, or likely to give rise to dispute, obviated.
The resolution was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then said that since the agreement had
been entered into some of the directors of the South
Wales Company had expressed an opinion that it would be
desirable, instead of amalgamating at the time specified,
to propose the Great Western Company should continue
to guarantee 5 per cent. with half of the surplus profits in
perpetuity. The directors of the Great Western Company
wished, therefore, to have a power to treat with the South
Wales directors, should that modification be insisted upon.
After some discussion a resolution to that effect was
unanimously carried.
A ♦ote of thanks having been given to the Chairman,
the meeting separated.
