meeting was called to order by President Chapn, who
alluded to the circumstances under which they had
sembed and said that there had been but dissent

upon the dividend Of last November, the objection
being that it better policy to charge less to
structon and pay for improvements out of the
ings rather than to make capital for these inn
provements
of the road $40 214, 900 had been charged in way
which had rendered the property vastly more valu-
able Figures also given to show the
wisdom OF thus charging the cost OF improve
ments to the capital account Upon the sub
ject of cheap transportation about which so much
clamor had been made Mr. Chaplin showed that there
had continued reduction In rates each year for
the past eight years Vice President Lincoln then
submitted a lengthy and detailed report, much OF
which was devoted to the Ware River Railroad lease
The action of the directors in making the lease was
defended seeming at the time judicious though II
had proved mistaken In paying a maximum rent OF
more than cent but the lease could not have
been obtained for less This had made difference OF
81 500 per annum-not enough 10 make a material
difference in the income or capital oil the Boston and
Albany road. Still the amount was worth saving.
Vice President Llncolns report covered VI detail The
operations Of the road, and ne assumed the entire
responsibility for The Ware River The report is
considered very able and explicit defence OF the man
acement and 1t unanimously adopted. kesolu-
