VICTORIA STATION AND PIMLICO.

- -
A special meeting of this company was held
yesterday at the office in Great George-street,
Westminster, Mr. W. Lee, M.P., in the chair.
The Secretary having read the notice convening
the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called
in accordance with the provisoes of the Companies'
Clauses Act, which required that the authority of
a general meeting should be given to the directors
before they could exercise the borrowing powers of
the company. The works were proceeding vigor-
ously, and, as half the share capital had been called
up and expended, the directors Considered it advis-
able that the company should be in a position to issue
debentures, so as to relieve the pressure of the re-
maining calls upon the proprietors. The sum of
£7 10s. had been called up out of £lO. and they
thought it better to exercise their borrowing powers
while money could be had at a low rate of interest,
than to make a fresh call upon the shareholders.
He concluded by moving a formal resolution
authorising the directors to borrow any sum or
sums of money on mortage or bond not exceeding in
the whole £225,000.
Mr. YOUNG said the original amount of the
contract for the works was £640,000, and unless
they proposed to exceed that amount, they would
not require to exercise the whole of the borrowing
powers of the company. The share capital would
be sufficient for the purpose if all the shares were
taken up.

The CHAIRMAN explained that 1,115 shares still
remained on hand, that the Brighton Company
were large contributors to the undertaking, and
were ready to pay the calls when required. The
estimate alluded to only included the cost of the
rnilway, the bridge over the Thames, and the
purchase of the site for the station at Pimlico ; but
did not include the cost of building the station.
He was not in a position to say what the cost of
the station would be.

Mr. YOUNG proposed an amendment to the
effect that the borrowing powers be limited for the
present to £lOO,OOO.
Mr. PHILLIPS seconded the motion.
The CHAIRMAN hoped the shareholders would
show their con lidence in the directing them to raise,
if necessary the amount specified in the Act of
Parliament.

On a show of hands the amendment was nega-
tived,. and. the motion was carried by a
large
mai ority.
The CHAIRMAN stated that the first stone of the
bridge over the Thames would be laid in about a
fortnight from the present time.
The meeting then separated.
