NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND
ROSTREVOR RAILWAY.
The fourth ordinary general meeting of the shave-
holders of this company took place yesterday at the com-
pany's offices, Moorgate- street. Lord Newry took the
chair at half-past one o'clock.
The usual preliminary proceedings having taken place,
the Secretary read the following report of the directors:
" The balance-sheet of this company to the Ist inst.,
exhibiting the state of accounts to that date duly audited,
is ro.v submitted to the proprietors.
" The directors subjoin the report of the company's
engineer, by which it will be seen that the works have
been progressing satisfactorily, and with as much expe-
dition as the means at the disposal of the directors would
admit of. The circumstances of the times, however,
have operated to delay in many cases the payment of the
calls, which is to be regretted, as necessarily retarding
the period of opening the line.
" The directors have availed themselves of the recent
important reduction in the price of iron, and have pur-
chased the rails necessary for a single line, which are
now in course of delivery at the works. Thus, so far as
it rests with the directors, every provision has been
made for opening the line to Warrenpoint early in the
ensuing summer; this object, if attained, would secure a
prompt return to the shareholders upon their whole out-
lay. It will therefore be understood how materially
their interests will be benefited by early payment of the
calls in arrear.
" The directors announce that half the capital having
been paid up, the borrowing powers of the company
come now into operation, and this meeting has been
made special for obtaining the assent of the proprietors
to the exercise of these powers.
" In compliance with the Companies' Clauses Con-
solidation Act, two of the directors will retire from
office at the ensuing general meeting, but are eligible for
re-election. One of the auditors also retires, and is
likewise eligible for re-election."
The following is the engineer's report, which was also
read:—
" The embankments through the slob lands adjoining
the Newry River are in a very forward state, aid that
portion between the Rampart and Green island, a distance
of about one mile, I expect will be closed in the course
of a month. I have much satisfaction in stating this
fact, as I had been led to anticipate some difficulty in
the construction of this portion of the line.
" The retaining walls and excavations through the
demesne of Narrow W ater are completed and the public
road diverted at this point, as originally intended; the
embankments, also, in this neighbourhood are progress-
ing rapidly, and present no difficulty in their construc-
tion.
" From the arrangements v.hich the contractor bas
made with the landholders in the neighbourhood of the
line, for procuring the necessary material for the forma-
tion of the embankments, together with the very efficient
working plant on the line, he is in a condition to acce-
lerate the progress of the works, should the directors
deem it expedient to do so."
The reports of the directors and also that of the en-
gineer were adopted unanimously, and ordered to be
printed and circulated among the proprietors. From
the balance sheet it appeared that the amount of cash in
the hands of the bankers of the company was 1,215/.
3s. 10d., and that there was a great arrear in the pay-
ment of the calls. Several proprietors recommended
the enforcement of the payment of the calls by legal
means, which the Noble Chairman stilted would be consi-
dered by the directors.
The directors that retired by rotation were re-elected.
The auditor was re-appointed.
A resolution giving power to the company to borrow
a sum of 33,0001. was unanimously agreed to; as was
also a resolution giving 5301. to the directors for their
services.
A resolution was also put and carried, calling upon
the directors to press the payment of the calls in arrear,
and giving them power, in case of their non-payment, to
institute legal proceedings to compel the payment.
Thanks were then voted to the Nuble Chairman, and
the meeting separated.
