At a Board of Directors of this Company, held at these offices the
241 day of Oaolyer, 1545,
It was unanimously resolved,

First —That the East India Railway Company was formed In the
spring of this year, after many months of preliminary discussion and
communication with official anthorities, for the purpose of carrying
out the views and objects of the projectors in the introduction of
railways into India.

Se,_•ond—That the promoters of the undertaking :abstained from
adopting any measures towards the formation of a company until
they had satisfied themselves of the disposition of the Government
of India to support the undertaking by pecuniary aid in some shape,
on which basis this Company was accordingly established, its object
being (as stated in the prospectus) to execute the line of railway
which should be seicoted by , Government, with the ulterior exten-
sions and developmenticonsequent upon it.
Third—That, in furtherance of these views, the Managing Director
of this Company proceeded to Calcutta in the month of July last,
accompanied by a staff of surveyors, for the purpose of making the
necessary surveys, obtaining the requisite information, and of ascer-
taining the views of the local Governmont, prior to the final arrange-
ments for commencing operations.
Fourth—That the information obtained in the course of-several
years of preliminary inquiry inclined the projectors to the belief that,
subject to any unforscen circumstances, the line from Calcutta to
the north-western provinces, by Mirzapore, was the most needed by
India, and most calculated to yield a profitable return for investment
of capital, and it was therefore that line which was advocated in the
first conisumication with the Government, the selection beingleft to
the Government. _ _ .

Fifth—That subsequent to the formation of this Company, various
projects have been announced to the public tin constructing railroads
in ♦Vestern India, some of them forming part and portion of the
scheme of the East Indian Railway Company, and to which the
surveys and the operations of the Committee in Calcutta may pos-
sibly at this moment be directed as an important feature in the de-
sign of Goverment.
Sixth—That under these circumstances it appears to this Board to
be their imperative duty in the interest of this Company to adopt
such measures as will have the effect of securing to the Company the
benefit of their original scheme in its full integrity.
Seventh—That with this view, and in order to prove to the Go-
vernment of India their full means of carrying out any arrangements
which it may be disposed to make with this Company for the con-
struction of railways on an extended scale (in the event of its being
essential to the scheme of the Government so to commence), it is
desirable that the capital of this Company should be increased to ten
millions, by the issue of new shares. _ . _ .

Eighth—That 120,000 shares of 501. each be created, en Which a
deposit of Ss. will be forthwish payable ; that of this number 80,000
shares be distributed rateably among the approved holders of the
Scr!p already issued, in the proportion of one new for one old share;
and that the remaining shares, subject to the necessary allotment to
the new Directors, be reserved to be disposed of hereafter, as may be
found advantageous ibr the interests of the undertaking.
Nint!4—That these resolutions be advertised in the Daily News-
papers, for the information of the Proprietors and the public.
