JAMES M'CALL, Esquire, in the Chair—
Tho advertisement calling the meeting, and the Sections of
the Act relative to the business to be transacted at it, having
been read, the Secretary read a Report of the Proceedings of
the Directors since the previous Statutory Meeting of Share-
holders, and of the arrangements made for the vigorous prose-
cution of the Works.
The CHAIRMAN then adverted to the very prompt manner in
which the call made on the 13th instant had already been met
by the Shareholders, as appeared from the statement of the
Funds in Bank laid before the Meeting, and congratulated the
Proprietors on the present prospects or the Company.
lg. hereupon it was moved by Wir,r,t AM BursiG, Esq , Incur-
attar Btoker, Glasgow, seconded by JAMES DUNLOP, Esq., Mer-
chant, Glasgow, and unanimously agreed to—

Line; and reqUest the Directors, if they see tit, to contribute a
moderate sum towards the expense of that Survey. •

Mr. WILLIAM Locia, on moving the third Resolution, stat-
ed, that it was his intention to have suggested to the Directors'
the propriety of immediately enforcing payment of the call
against such parties as had not paid; but he was glad to say,
that, from the satiiractory manner in whiCh the call had already
been met, and the prospect of the whole being paid within a
short period, it was quite unnecessary for him to do so. He,
therefore, left the matter with great pleasure in the hands of the
Directors, and, moved,
That the thanks of the Meeting he given to the Directors for
their continued exertions" and to the Chairman for his conduct
in the Chair.
Which motion having been seconded, was unanimously
agreed to.
