Directors to continue the payment of the interest at 10 per

As to the Catalan property, having regard to its impor-
tant position, the command it has of the seaboard, the faci-
lities it presents for construction of the new port, and its
general adaptability for the formation of streets, shops, and
private villas, a large and remunerative return may also be
anticipated.

ESTIMATED PROFIT ON CATALAN PROPERTY.

On reference to Mr. Borde's Report, it will be seen that
when the various improvements which have been sug-
gested have been completed, and the Catalan property
fully developed, it is estimated to yield a gross profit of
upwards of cent. per cent., and this within a period of
three years, although the estimates have been based on the
more extended period of five years, and that when the Fort
St. Nicholas is removed, and the new port completed, this
profit will be trebled.
MINIMUM INTEREST, TEN PER CENT.

As the first payments of annuities and rent under the
arrangements entered into with regard to the Joliette pro-
perty do not commence until the Ist October, 1867, and
become payable only in the subsequent half-year, viz.,
the Ist April, 1868, the Directors have decided to pay in-
terest at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum for two years,
from March, 1866, on the capital called up, and for which
four interest warrants will be attached to the share certifi-
cates at the time of issue (which will be charged to land
purchases account). After that date the revenue from the
Joliette lands, the rentals from the other properties, and
profits on further sales, will be applicable for dividend or
bonuses.
