Making your present income from the line to Taunton about
£51,000 a-year; but your directors consider you to he en-
titled to a sum of between £.lOO and £5OO more, for fixed rent
for the half-yeaa ? and have no doubt of obtaining a satis-
factory arrangement of this question with the lessees. By
the Engineer's Report, it will he seen that the additional
distance of nearly nine miles from Taunton to Beambridge
will be ready to open for public traffic earlier than the agree-
ment with the Great Western Company requires; whereby
the sum of £2,500 out of the £7,500 conditionally received,
will be absolutely secured; besides an additional rent of
£lOOO a-year for opening that place, over and above the
other mileage, rent. and toll. You will find by this report,
that the whole line to Exeter will be ready to open in the
course of next year : cousequently long before the stipulated
period. Three contracts, comprising more than five miles of
the line between Cullompton and Exeter, are advertised to
be let on the 17th instant; and the remaining portion, in-
cluding the station at Exeter, will soon be likewise put under
contract. Your directors recommend to you to declare a
dividend of £1 Bs. per share, for the half-year ending on the
6th of April next, payable after the 30th of the same month,
free of income tax."
