GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND.

A Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held
on Saturday at Aberdeen—Mr. J. Duncan in the
chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that the object of the meet-
ing was to approve a bill for the amalgamation of
the Great North of Scotland Railway with its vari-
ous branches, and to lease the Deeside Railway.
The contributions of the company to • the Alford
Valley, the Aberdeen and Turriff, the Banff, Mac-
duff, and Turriff Extension, the Keith and D uff town,
and the Strathspey Railways amounted to £363,231,
and by the public to £133,480. As regarded the
Formartin and Buchan it was proposed to gurrantee
the original shares held by the public 60 per cent.
of the gross receipts of the Formartin and Buchan
line proper, after the payment of the dividend on
the 5 per cent. Formartin and Buchan preference
shares as follows :—For the half-year ending Aug.
31, 1867, 11 per cent.; ditto ending Aug. 31, 1868,
2 per cent.; ending Aug. 31, 1869, 21 per cent., and
in the year ending Aug. 31, 1870, and thereafter in
perpetuity 3 per cent., with the right of participat-
ing with the original shares of the company in any
dividend beyond 3 per cent. The share capital of
the amalgamated company would amount to
£2,464,881, including £823,571 ordinary capital.
The bill also proposed to authorise a lease of the
Deeside line to the Great North of Scotland Com-
pany. It was high time that the consolidation of
the branch lines should take effect. The greater
portion of the money required for the construction
of those branches had been provided by the funds,
capital, and credit of the Great North of Scotland
Company. He explained the advantages of the bill,
and that it would consolidate the interests of the
company.

A formal resolution approving the bill was adopted.
