DURABILITY OF SUBMARINE TELEGRAPHS.--4,
a meeting of the Electric and International Telegraph Cr,
pany, held on Friday, Mr ;It,. Stephenson, M.P., presidl,
for the purpose of declaring a dividend for the past
year at the rate of 61 per cent.
per annum, the OW"
man said, in in recommending the appropriation of
balance of £6,600 to the trust or reserve fund, his opinln,
was unfavourable to the durability of submarine cable/4
their present state ; and that, although improvement° oci
doubtless hereafter be introduced, and lines will e 5 3s.
over the whole world, it is absolutely necessary, under the
isting circumstances, to keep a large reserve to meet out
cost of deterioration. Some cables were found to weerive,
in five or six years; others would last ten, or even tvti.e'ay..
or more ; but, taking ten as the average, the company
_tide
m"
g expended £140,000 on marine lines, ought to lay '
£14,000 yearly. The land lines are kept in repair fr°ol
week to week, and are consequently as good one Yeartbat
another, but this is manifestly impossible with those
are submerged. In reply to some remarks by a elif,b.
holder, Mr. Stephenson observed that he knew no b'
marine line which of itsolf yielded a profit.
